Summary

This study tested a smoking cessation program for adults living in Baltimore City public housing. The program combined remote support from specialists, access to quit-smoking medications, and on-site community leaders to help residents reduce or quit smoking. The goal was to see if this approach was practical and acceptable for low-income smokers facing a new smoking ban.
