Evaluation of a Stop Smoking iPhone App
This is an initial pilot study to determine whether people will use a research version of an
iPhone Stop Smoking app. The investigators primary measures will consist of rates of
recruitment (that is, number of people installing the app), use of the app, and completion of
follow-up surveys regarding self-reported smoking status. The investigators secondary measure
will be obtained quit rates and number of cigarettes smoked before and after using the app.
To enter the study, participants must download the app from iTunes at:

The investigators research team has developed smoking cessation self-help tools administered
as printed brochures and Internet stop smoking sites. These self-help tools have demonstrated
quit rates similar to those obtained with the nicotine patch. The investigators now want to
see if mobile device apps might also help people quit.
This is the investigators first pilot study with a research version of the investigators stop
smoking app for the iPhone. The investigators want to get estimates of how many people will
download the app per month, how many will actually use the app, and how many will provide
follow-up information on whether they quit, and if not, how many cigarettes they are smoking
now. The investigators will use this information to plan a randomized controlled trial to
determine efficacy of the app for stopping smoking.
