Brief Summary

The goal of this pilot study is to examine the effectiveness of the STMI in promoting abstinence in unmotivated smokers. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Do unmotivated smokers treated with STMI exhibit higher abstinence rate than those in the control group?
• Do unmotivated smokers treated with STMI show higher intention to quit than those in the control group?
• Do unmotivated smokers treated with STMI show higher smoking reduction rates than those in the control group?
• Do unmotivated smokers treated with STMI show lower level of depressive symptoms than those in the control group?
• Do unmotivated smokers treated with STMI show higher adherence than those in the control group?
• Does STMI show higher consent rates than those the control?
• How does STMI affect the smoking behaviors in unmotivated smokers? Participants will be randomized to (1) STMI or (2) control group for smoking cessation services via telephone, and then be invited to join a semi-structured interview.
