First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether talking to a pharmacist over the phone can help smokers quit. About 80 people who currently smoke and are in a lung cancer screening program will take part. Half will get regular phone calls from a pharmacist for 12 weeks, while the other half just fill out surveys. The goal is to see if the pharmacist calls make it easier to stop smoking.
