Summary
This study tests a smartphone chatbot designed to help Black adults quit smoking. The chatbot sends alerts during times when a person is most likely to smoke and suggests ways to handle triggers. 120 participants will be randomly assigned to use the chatbot or not, and researchers will measure how often people use the app and how many cigarettes they smoke.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new, accessible tool to help people quit smoking by offering real-time support.
