Summary

This trial is testing whether financial incentives can help smokers quit, by comparing three different approaches. They will also compare how well these approaches work in the short term and long term, and whether they are a good investment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who have smoked tobacco in the last month, are considering quitting smoking, and can consent in English or Spanish. They must have an active U.S. phone number and address. It's not for those using only smokeless tobacco, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, people discharged to institutions like nursing homes, or anyone unable to consent.
What is being tested?
The study tests if financial rewards can help hospitalized smokers quit. Participants will receive smoking cessation counseling (Quitline), pharmacotherapy (like nicotine patches), and cash incentives for quitting or using these therapies effectively.
What are the potential side effects?
There may be no direct medical side effects from participating; however, common challenges when quitting smoking include nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, cravings, difficulty concentrating, increased appetite leading to weight gain.
