Summary

This study tests a new way to help informal workers (like street vendors and farmers) in Thailand quit smoking. Trained village health volunteers provide advice and support, while participants also get messages and counseling through the Line app and a telephone Quitline. The program is compared to standard care at local health centers. The study involves 80 people and lasts about 3 months.
