NCT ID NCT05683821
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether offering smokers more frequent and personalized outreach, plus more treatment choices like nicotine patches and text support, helps more people quit compared to standard care. Over 12,000 adult smokers from 10 primary care clinics took part. The goal was to see if a flexible, patient-friendly approach increases the use of smoking cessation treatments.

Nicotine replacement therapy (patches, gum, lozenges) and text message support
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help more people quit smoking by making treatments easier to access and more personalized.
What could go wrong
The study compares outreach strategies, not a new drug, so the impact may be modest. Results depend on how well clinics implement the changes.
