Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Nicoderm C-Q Transdermal Product	6 weeks of nicotine replacement therapy patches
BEHAVIORAL	Orientation session	This session will occur 2 weeks before quit date. It will be moderated by a certified instructor in MT, and will last approximately 90 min. During the session, participants will learn the purpose, format, and procedures of the study, provide electronic informed consent which will be audio-recorded with their permission, and complete the baseline assessment.
BEHAVIORAL	Craving-to-Quit app	The app is comprised of 22 modules for 22 days, 5-15 minutes each, designed to teach MT using audio, video, and animation. The app also includes other features such as social support (quit friend sign-ups, the tip of the week), activity feed (to track interaction with the app), and my morning stats (to track smoking).
BEHAVIORAL	Two brief follow-up phone calls	The first phone call will occur one day before the quit date to remind participants about their quit date and provide support. The second will occur at the end of treatment (around day 60 after quit date) to review progress, provide support, and schedule the 3-month follow-up visit. Each phone call will last approximately 15 minutes.
BEHAVIORAL	Group MT sessions	Total of eight group sessions (twice a week) during 4 weeks. The overarching theme of momentary awareness and acceptance of cravings and affect (e.g., stress, anxiety etc.) will be introduced and reinforced in complementary ways throughout the training. Each session will last 45-60 minutes.
BEHAVIORAL	Brief advice on quitting smoking	Standard advice on how to quit smoking.
BEHAVIORAL	Self-help smoking cessation materials	Written materials on how to quit smoking including contact info for state tobacco quitline.
