Text messaging to help rural Mississippians quit tobacco
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a text message program can help adults in rural Mississippi quit smoking, smokeless tobacco (like chew or dip), or both. If you're ready to quit and have tried before, this program could give you extra support through your phone.
