About this trial
This phase III trial compares a smartphone application with or without nicotine replacement therapy in improving smoking cessation among Hispanic adults who would like to quit smoking. The iCanQuit smartphone application focuses on skills for managing urges, motivation, and relapse prevention with personalized quit plans. Nicotine replacement therapy works by giving small, steady doses of nicotine to help stop cravings and relieve symptoms that occur when a person is trying to quit smoking without any of the other harmful chemicals found in tobacco products.
