App and cash incentives aim to help menthol smokers kick the habit
NCT ID NCT07356297
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding a digital incentive program to traditional quitline services helps adults who smoke menthol cigarettes quit. About 1,200 participants will use an app that rewards them for check-ins, calls to a coach, and staying smoke-free. The goal is to see if this combo works better than quitline alone.
