The text-based program will be beta-tested by these participants for a period of 2 weeks before and 10 weeks after their quit date. Messages originated from the text-based smoking cessation program will be sent by a fictitious quit coach who will offer evidence-based advice on quitting smoking based on real-life experiences of sexual minority individuals.
