Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the success rate (efficacy) of a newly developed program to help smokers and vapers quit smoking. There will be no drugs of any nature involved, nor will there be any replacement addictions offered (ie; patches, gummies, etc.) It will also learn about the demographic profile of inbound participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the new program offer an improved success rate for smoking cessation? Does the program eliminate the need for long term "trigger" management? Does the program effectively diminish the anxiety that is normally associated with smoking cessation? Participants will: Attend a 1 hour group zoom session each week for the duration of the program (8 weeks). Fill out an onboarding demographic questionnaire and exit demographic questionnaire. Agree to a 6 month follow up questionnaire regarding their continued success/failure. There are no physical meeting requirements. Participants can be located anywhere within the US.
