Summary

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of HaRTS-TRENDS compared to standard care (i.e., brief advice to quit + referral to state quit line that offers free NRT) in facilitating a biochemically verified nonsmoking and b) reducing smoking-related harm as measured by concentration of urinary tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs). Potential underlying mechanisms of changes in the proposed outcomes--including nicotine craving and smoking reduction, respectively--will be tested.

Interventions

OTHER

HaRTS-TRENDS

HaRTS-TRENDS comprises 4, individual sessions delivered in the context of the interventionist's pragmatic harm-reduction mindset paired with a compassionate, advocacy-oriented "heart-set" or style. It comprises the delivery of 4 manualized components, including a) participant-led tracking of preferred smoking outcomes, b) elicitation of participants' harm-reduction goals and their progress toward achieving them, c) discussion of the relative risks of various nicotine delivery systems, and d) instruction in using ENDS. Additionally, HaRTS-TRENDS entails provision of commercially available ENDS.

OTHER

Standard Care (SC)

The 4-session, individual standard care control condition entails the well-documented and evidence-based 5 As intervention (i.e., Ask about nicotine use, Assess use, Advise to quit smoking, Assist with exploring current smoking/planning smoking cessation, Arrange follow-up). Part of arranging follow-up is the recommendation to call the smoking quit line, which can supply additional counseling and nicotine replacement therapy.
