Measure
Quitting Smoking Film
This arm viewed a storytelling narrative film of six women living with HIV taking about their success in quitting smoking. A total of 27 women were randomized into this arm and four women withdrew from the study right before receiving any of the allotted intervention. Of the remaining 23 women, 18 women received at least 80% of the allotted intervention, and all 23 women completed the study without any more loss. Outcome analysis was done separately with 27 women who were randomized into the arm and with 23 women who actually received any part of the allotted intervention.
HIV Infection (an Attnetion-control) Film
This arm will watch an attention-control storytelling narrative intervention by watching a video of women living with HIV taking about their life after the diagnosis of HIV. A total of 26 women were randomized into this arm and 20 women received at least 80% of the allotted intervention. One was lost during the follow-up period and 25 women completed the study. Outcome analysis was done with 26 women who were randomized into the arm.

Measure
Quitting Smoking Video
n=23 Participants
This arm will receive a storytelling narrative intervention by watching a video of women living with HIV taking about their success in quitting smoking. Storytelling Narrative Intervention: In the first phase, three sections of a video, each for 5-7 minutes will be produced by "Star" story tellers who are eloquent and have authentic personal experiences of quitting smoking. Participants who receive 8-weekly 30-minute cessation counseling sessions along with NRT are randomly assigned to watch either the smoking cessation video or attention-control video of women taking about their HIV infection.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months

This scale assesses participants' confidence (self-efficacy) in resisting smoking temptation in nine specific situations. Each item score ranges from 1 (completely unconfident) to 5 (completely confident). The scale score is the sum of each item score and ranges from 9 to 45. Higher scores represent more confidence and better outcome.
