4 sessions will be provided with a trained counselor who will discuss the participant's' smoking habits with them and strategies to help them quit. The first session is in-person, lasts for 20 minutes, and typically happens when the participant comes to the HIV clinic to pick up their medication. Sessions 2 through 4 are over the telephone and last for 15 minutes each. These occur 1 week, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after the first session.
