Summary
The overarching aim of this proposed randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to test nicotine
replacement therapy (NRT) with text message support for two smoking cessation approaches
among young adult dual users of combustible cigarettes (CC) and electronic cigarettes (EC).
The investigators will use a 2x2 factorial design to randomize 390 participants to receive A)
NRT plus text messages to quit CCs only, B) NRT plus text messages to quit CCs and ECs
simultaneously, C) text messages alone to quit CCs only, or D) text messages alone to quit
CCs and ECs simultaneously. The investigators primary outcome will be 7-day point-prevalence
abstinence at the end of treatment (i.e., 3 months after randomization). The investigators
will recruit participants using national advertising strategies. All treatment will be
provided remotely in order to increase treatment access and comply with current COVID-19
restrictions.
