Website Smoking Cessation Intervention for the Promotion of Smoking Cessation in Low-Income Veterans

Summary

This phase I trial studies how well a new electronic (e)-health smoking cessation program (called Vet Flexiquit) works in promoting smoking cessation in low-income veterans who may or may not be ready to quit smoking. The study will compare the new website smoking cessation program to the current standard care website smoking cessation program offered by the Veterans Administration (VA). Both website interventions will be accompanied by a text messaging program that includes: (1) motivational messages, and (2) reminders to use the assigned program. Both of the website interventions can help smokers quit or cut back on how much they smoke, thus dramatically reducing their chances of developing tobacco-related health conditions.
