This study tests a free, internet-based program that uses mindfulness and behavioral strategies to help adults reduce or quit smoking and vaping. About 406 participants in Switzerland and Türkiye will be randomly assigned to the program or a control group. The program includes eight online modules over four weeks, focusing on building motivation, managing stress, and preparing for quitting.
