replacement therapies (NRT), like the patch,gum, or lozenge, helps African American non-daily

Non-daily smokers represent a growing number of racial/ethnic minority smokers. 1 out of 4
African Americans are non-daily smokers. African Americans seem to have a harder time
quitting and have greater medical problems related to smoking even at lighter usage rates
compared to Whites.
Current tobacco treatment guidelines target daily smokers. There are no guidelines for
non-daily smokers. This study will allow the researchers to explore treatment options for
African American non-daily smokers and find out if some treatments work better than others.
Participation in this study will last about 6 months. Over this course of time, participants
will be asked to visit the study location 3 times and will talk with a member of the study
team on the phone 4 times.
