Measure
Preloading
Participants will be started on nicotine patch 3 weeks prior to quit date. At quit date they will use patch and lozenge or gum for 8 weeks. Nicoderm CQ 21Mg/24Hr Transdermal System: Nicoderm CQ patch started 3 weeks prior to quit date. Starting on quit date, patch/gum or patch/lozenge will be used for 8 weeks. Patch will be tapered over the 8 week period.
Standard Treatment
Participants will start combination nicotine replacement therapy (patch/gum or patch/lozenge) on their assigned quit date. NRT will be provided for 8 weeks. Nicoderm CQ 21Mg/24Hr Transdermal System: Nicoderm CQ patch started 3 weeks prior to quit date. Starting on quit date, patch/gum or patch/lozenge will be used for 8 weeks. Patch will be tapered over the 8 week period.
