Kicking the Habit: A Research Study Testing the Buckeye Quit Stick

Official Title A Pilot/Feasibility Study of the Buckeye Quit Stick: A Novel Resource for Successful Tobacco Cessation

Purpose

The Buckeye Quit Stick is part of a research study to learn whether people are willing to use a handheld stick as a tool for the hand-mouth routine of smoking. It focuses on the hand-to-mouth habit by providing something to hold and use instead of a cigarette. The main goal of this study is to see if patients that plan to quit smoking will use this device and evaluate their experiences with the Buckeye Quit Stick.

Participants will also continue to receive national guidelines for smoking cessation support from the James Comprehensive Cancer Center Smoking Cessation Clinic. A participant is considered to have completed the research study when they complete all study visits or at approximately 6 months.
