Detailed Description
The goals of this project include evaluating the feasibility, acceptability, and helpfulness of the real-time smoking intervention and to assess the preliminary efficacy of the real-time intervention as an adjunct to standard tobacco treatment. Rates of adherence, participant satisfaction, and perceived usefulness will be evaluated through post-treatment interviews and ratings. Biochemically confirmed 7-day point prevalence abstinence will be compared between the experimental and control groups at the end of treatment (week 8).

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Real-Time Smoking Intervention Adult smokers will use wearable technology in order to receive real-time feedback as a smoking intervention in addition to standard treatment. |
Behavioral: Real-Time Smoking Intervention
Adult smokers will use wearable technology in order to receive real-time feedback as a smoking intervention in addition to standard treatment.
Behavioral: Standard Treatment
Adult smokers will receive standard outpatient tobacco treatment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Rates of adherence to the smartband intervention [Week 8]
Measured as the number of days wearing the smartband
- Patient satisfaction [Week 8]
Self-reported patient satisfaction subjective ratings of the real-time intervention will use a scale created specifically for this study to assess the intervention. The 7 item scale uses a 5 point Likert scale and the sum total would indicate level of satisfaction. The highest score of 35, would indicate the highest level of satisfaction.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Abstinence from cigarettes [Week 8]
Self-reported cigarette use (Timeline follow-back data) confirmed with CO≤ 4ppm during the last week of the study to estimate effect sizes between groups.
- Number of days abstinent from cigarettes [Week 4]
Timeline follow-back data will be collected to determine the number of days abstinent from cigarettes.
- Number of days abstinent from cigarettes [Week 8]
Timeline follow-back data will be collected to determine the number of days abstinent from cigarettes.
- Changes in cigarettes per smoking day from baseline [Week 4]
Timeline follow-back data will be collected to determine the changes in the number of cigarettes smoked per day.
- Changes in cigarettes per smoking day from baseline [Week 8]
Timeline follow-back data will be collected to determine the changes in the number of cigarettes smoked per day.
