Summary
This pilot study tests whether two smartphone apps can help current smokers quit. 24 participants will use either the KickAsh app (to track mood and activity) or the Breathe2Relax app (for relaxation). Researchers will check if the apps improve mood, increase activity, and lead to smoking abstinence. The study is small and early, so results are preliminary.
