Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The purpose of the focus groups is to learn how firefighting and shift work impact smokeless tobacco use and risk perceptions related to chew or dip. Using their feedback, the study team will then develop a cessation program specifically geared towards firefighters and first responders.
The cessation program will be a mobile text / chat intervention specifically tailored to needs of firefighters and first responders who wish to stop using smokeless tobacco. About 50 firefighters and first responders will take part in this program, while being randomized into either the intervention group or the control group.

Study Groups

#EnufSnuff.TXT- First Responder
Participants in this group will receive a mobile gradual smokeless tobacco reduction intervention
#EnufSnuff.TXT- First Responder
Participants in this intervention will be given the choice of following the Gradual Reduction to Quit program or to choose their own quit date within 2-4 weeks. The Gradual Reduction to Quit program will reduce smokeless tobacco use via text message support and weekly prompts guiding the participants to gradually decrease their use of smokeless tobacco until they are down to zero. A four week Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) sample in the form of lozenges will also be provided to all participants. The intent of this program is to reduce the number of times participants use smokeless tobacco.
Enough Snuff Intervention
Participants in this group will receive tobacco cessation materials
Enough Snuff Intervention
Participants will be sent the Enuf Snuff cessation manual, support text messages, as well as a four week Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) sample in the form of lozenges.
