Summary

This small pilot study tests whether using a mobile app can help adults quit smoking. About 24 smokers from MD Anderson's Tobacco Treatment Program will use either a positive psychology app or a relaxation app alongside their usual care. The main goal is to see how well people stick with the app, not to measure quit rates directly.
