Brief summary
This is a pilot study of making a range of nicotine replacement therapies available to smokers in locations where they go about their everyday lives, regardless of their level of motivation to quit smoking. The hypothesis is that giving smokers the opportunity to sample a range of therapies, under the guidance of an expert coach, will increase their motivation to quit, increase their usage of nicotine replacement therapy, and lead them to try to quit smoking.
Interventions
The trial will consist of kiosks in community locations where smokers go about their everday lives (such as shopping malls), which are staffed by trained quit coaches. People who smoke at least once per day, will be given the opportunity to sample a range of nicotine replacement therapies while being guided in the appropriate manner of using them by an expert coach. They can choose from the following products: Nicotine patch (21mg, 14mg, 7mg); nicotine gum (2mg, 4mg); nicotine lozenge (2mg, 1mg); nicotine mouthspray (QuickMist) 1mg/spray; Nicorette Inhalator 15mg. They can choose to sample as many products as they wish, however, if participants have not voluntarily chosen to try wearing a patch, they will be gently encouraged to do so, although they can decline to try wearing a patch if they do not want to. If participatns wish, they may take a free sample of a week's worth of as many of the products as they want (however, they must be products that they have chosen to sample at the kiosk under supervision of an expert coach).
