Tele-health Mobile Contingency Management Intervention
This arm includes a tele-health intervention that combines evidence-based telephone cognitive behavioral treatment for alcohol and smoking cessation, smoking cessation pharmacotherapy (including nicotine replacement therapy and bupropion), and mobile contingency management treatment administered via a smart-phone based application (mobile CM). Nicotine Replacement Therapy: Participants will be prescribed NRT patch and one nicotine rescue method (e.g., nicotine gum, lozenge, inhaler) for use during the post-quit phase of the study. Participants will be given the choice between nicotine gum or lozenge, and will be instructed to use the rescue method as needed to reduce cigarette cravings Bupropion: All medically eligible participants will be prescribed bupropion, which they will start two weeks prior to their quit day. Dosage will be 150 mg/daily for days 1-7 and 300 mg/daily (administered in two daily doses) until the 6-month follow-up. Cognitive Behavioral Treatment: Participants will receive 4 60-minute sessions of CBT telephone counseling for alcohol and smoking cessation. Mobile Contingency Management: Participants will be asked to provide video recordings of themselves taking carbon monoxide readings in order to confirm smoking abstinence, and breathalyzer to confirm abstinence from alcohol. Participants are provided monetary reward for videos that suggest smoking abstinence and alcohol abstinence.
Tele-health for Alcohol and Smoking Cessation
This arm includes a tele-health intervention that will provide controls for therapist, medication, time and attention effects. The tele-health intervention provides the same evidence-based telephone CBT for alcohol and smoking cessation, and smoking cessation pharmacotherapy as in the mCM intervention, but does not include mCM. Instead, participants receive monetary compensation for each assessment, regardless of abstinence. Nicotine Replacement Therapy: Participants will be prescribed NRT patch and one nicotine rescue method (e.g., nicotine gum, lozenge, inhaler) for use during the post-quit phase of the study. Participants will be given the choice between nicotine gum or lozenge, and will be instructed to use the rescue method as needed to reduce cigarette cravings Bupropion: medically eligible participants will be prescribed bupropion, which they will start two weeks prior to their quit day. Dosage will be 150 mg/daily for days 1-7 and 300 mg/daily (administered in two daily doses) until the 6-month follow-up. Cognitive Behavioral Treatment: Participants will receive 4 60-minute sessions of CBT telephone counseling for alcohol and smoking cessation. Mobile Monitoring: Participants will be asked to provide video recordings of themselves taking carbon monoxide readings and breathalyzer. Participants are asked to upload these videos to the study's secured server, and are provided monetary reward for providing the video recordings, regardless of abstinence.

Mobile Contingency Management: Participants will be asked to provide video recordings of themselves taking carbon monoxide readings in order to confirm smoking abstinence, and breathalyzer to confirm abstinence from alcohol. Participants are provided monetary reward for videos that suggest smoking abstinence and alcohol abstinence.
Tele-health for Alcohol and Smoking Cessation
n=15 Participants
This arm includes a tele-health intervention that will provide controls for therapist, medication, time and attention effects. The tele-health intervention provides the same evidence-based telephone CBT for alcohol and smoking cessation, and smoking cessation pharmacotherapy as in the mCM intervention, but does not include mCM. Instead, participants receive monetary compensation for each assessment, regardless of abstinence. Nicotine Replacement Therapy: Participants will be prescribed NRT patch and one nicotine rescue method (e.g., nicotine gum, lozenge, inhaler) for use during the post-quit phase of the study. Participants will be given the choice between nicotine gum or lozenge, and will be instructed to use the rescue method as needed to reduce cigarette cravings Bupropion: medically eligible participants will be prescribed bupropion, which they will start two weeks prior to their quit day. Dosage will be 150 mg/daily for days 1-7 and 300 mg/daily (administered in two daily doses) until the 6-month follow-up. Cognitive Behavioral Treatment: Participants will receive 4 60-minute sessions of CBT telephone counseling for alcohol and smoking cessation. Mobile Monitoring: Participants will be asked to provide video recordings of themselves taking carbon monoxide readings and breathalyzer. Participants are asked to upload these videos to the study's secured server, and are provided monetary reward for providing the video recordings, regardless of abstinence.

This arm includes a tele-health intervention that combines evidence-based telephone cognitive behavioral treatment for alcohol and smoking cessation, smoking cessation pharmacotherapy (including nicotine replacement therapy and bupropion), and mobile contingency management treatment administered via a smart-phone based application (mobile CM). Nicotine Replacement Therapy: Participants will be prescribed NRT patch and one nicotine rescue method (e.g., nicotine gum, lozenge, inhaler) for use during the post-quit phase of the study. Participants will be given the choice between nicotine gum or lozenge, and will be instructed to use the rescue method as needed to reduce cigarette cravings Bupropion: All medically eligible participants will be prescribed bupropion, which they will start two weeks prior to their quit day.
