Summary
Smokeless tobacco (ST), which includes both chewing tobacco and snuff, has health risks
associated with its use. While treatment programs that focus on stopping tobacco use may be
effective, past research has shown that interventions that specifically focus on reducing
tobacco use may be equally effective and may motivate individuals to eventually quit using
tobacco. This study will compare the effectiveness of a ST reduction treatment program versus
a usual tobacco cessation treatment program (immediate cessation) for reducing tobacco use in
ST users.
