Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Smoking cessation support + volunteering
This group will receive remotely-delivered smoking cessation support by using the National Cancer Institute's smoking cessation app and receive combination nicotine replacement therapy (NRT; i.e., lozenges/gum, patches). Additionally, they will engage in sexual and/or gender minority (SGM)-serving online volunteer activities (≥4 sessions) and a digital hub to foster interaction across Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas.
Empowering Cessation for the ACS South
All participants (N=400) will receive remotely-delivered smoking cessation support comprised of the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) free smoking cessation app and 12 weeks of mailed over-the-counter NRT (nicotine patches, gum or lozenges).. While receiving smoking cessation support, participants in the intervention group (n=200) will also engage in SGM-serving online volunteer activities (≥4 weekly sessions lasting \~1.5 hours each), the protocols for which will be developed in Phase 1 to address the needs of OK, AR, and TX communities. Volunteer sessions will be facilitated by an SGM culturally-competent facilitator employed by the research team (i.e., community partner organizations will not run volunteer sessions). The intervention group will also be added to a digital hub (i.e., a private Reddit group) for 12 weeks to foster social support and exchange of ideas between participants/community partners across the three states.
Smoking cessation support ONLY

High SGM stigma states are defined as the 22 states wherein ˂60% of the population 'thinks that homosexuality should be accepted'. High SGM stigma municipalities are defined as one of the 246 U.S. municipalities (out of the 496 scored from all U.S. states) that scored below the median (71) on the HRC Municipal Equality Index.
Willingness to quit smoking will be assessed with a single item: "Are you willing to quit smoking cigarettes within 30 days after enrolling in this study? (yes/no)". To be classified as 'ready to quit smoking,' participants will report readiness to quit in the next 30 days and at least 1 past-year quit attempt (i.e., in the "Preparation" stage of change).
