New program aims to help chinese american smokers quit and clean up toxic smoke residue
NCT ID NCT07049757
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program called Smokefree Family Living (SFL) designed for Chinese American families. It combines smoking cessation education with tips to clean up third-hand smoke—the harmful residue that sticks to carpets, walls, and furniture. Researchers will enroll 760 participants, including smokers and their non-smoking family members, to see if the program helps more people quit and reduces smoke exposure in the home.
