Summary
The primary purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of sending pre-cessation
nicotine patches and to examine the effects associated with the pre-cessation treatment
phase. Specifically, this study aims to:
1. See if subjects will use pre-cessation nicotine patches.
2. See if subjects in the pre-cessation nicotine patches go on to get more nicotine
patches.
3. See if pre-cessation treatment with nicotine patches leads to a decrease in number of
cigarettes smoked per day.
4. See if sending 2-weeks' worth of patches is helpful to the quitting process.
