Summary

This trial will identify the best smoking cessation program to help people in the construction sector quit smoking, with an eye to effectiveness, costs, and implementation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for construction sector leaders and safety managers over 18, involved in decision-making or willing to deliver smoking cessation treatment. It's also for workers who smoke at least 5 cigarettes daily, are ready to quit soon, and plan to stay with the company. Safety managers can't be current smokers.
What is being tested?
The study tests different smoking cessation methods: intensive behavioral counseling, a tobacco quit-line service, brief counseling sessions, and Nicoderm C-Q Gum. The goal is to find the most effective program for helping construction workers quit smoking.
What are the potential side effects?
Nicoderm C-Q Gum may cause mouth soreness, hiccups, nausea, or jaw discomfort. Behavioral interventions typically don't have physical side effects but can sometimes lead to temporary increased stress during the quitting process.
