Summary

This pilot study tests a smartphone app called eMind that delivers an 8-week mindfulness programme to help smokers quit. Researchers want to see if smokers find the app acceptable and easy to use. The study involves 40 adult smokers motivated to quit, who will use the app and provide feedback. It does not yet measure whether the app actually helps people stop smoking.
