Brief Summary

This observational study evaluates a structured smoking cessation program delivered via weekly group sessions. The primary objective is to assess participant-reported smoking abstinence following completion of the program and at 6-month follow-up. Secondary objectives include evaluating changes in self-reported anxiety related to smoking cessation and assessing whether participants report reduced need for ongoing trigger management. The study will also characterize the demographic profile of participants enrolled in the program. Participants will attend weekly 1-hour group sessions conducted via videoconference over an 8-week period. Data collection includes a baseline demographic questionnaire, an end-of-program questionnaire, and a 6-month follow-up questionnaire assessing continued smoking status and related measures. All study activities are conducted remotely, and participants may be located anywhere within the United States.
