Proactive Cessation Intervention With Biomarker Feedback

The goal of this study is to understand how information about smokers' health risks affects
their attitudes, mood, and behavior.

The current study will test a community-based, tobacco intervention. The project will compare
the effects of a proactive, personally-tailored, biologically-based motivational intervention
to those of a proactive, generic motivational intervention for smoking cessation. The
biologically-based motivational treatment will include feedback on participants' carbon
monoxide (CO) exposure (expired CO and estimated carboxyhemoglobin levels), pulmonary
functioning assessed via spirometry, and self-reported smoking-related symptoms. All
participants will be given equal access to action-oriented treatment.

Inclusion Criteria:

- 18 years old,

- smoke greater than or equal to 15 cigarettes a day,

- have an expired CO level greater than or equal to 10 ppm,

- are not currently being treated for smoking cessation,

- can read and write in English,

- provide contact information,

- agree to the study requirements,

- have no medical contraindications for spirometry assessment,

- and no an obvious cognitive or physical impairment that would preclude their ability
to comprehend or fully participate in the study.
