Brief summary

This study uses a proactive outreach strategy, coupled with free nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) to increase the population impact of tobacco cessation treatment for diverse, low income smokers. Population impact is the product of treatment utilization (i.e., reach or exposure) and treatment efficacy (i.e., smoking abstinence rates among those who utilize treatment).

Detailed description

Participants will be randomized to receive either Usual (Reactive) Care or Proactive Outreach, Telephone Counseling and free nicotine replacement therapy (NRT).
