  2. Used any tobacco products beyond normal use for more than one day
  3. Used any nicotine replacement products or smoking cessation medications for more than one day
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Study I - First Phase - No Longer Recruiting

  * Greater than 1 year history of daily smoking
  * 1 month or more of e-cigarette use
  * Able to speak and read English
  * (1) current dual users (of tobacco cigarettes and e-cigarettes) without interest in quitting smoking; (2) current dual users who have attempted, but not quit smoking; (3) current e-cigarette users who have successfully quit smoking; and (4) former dual users who have quit both products.
* Study I - Second Phase - No Longer Recruiting

  * Current dual users (of tobacco cigarettes and e-cigarettes)
  * Smoking at least one cigarette per day over the past year
  * Using e-cigarettes at least once per week over the past month
  * Not currently enrolled in a face-to-face smoking cessation program
  * Able to speak and read English
* Study II - No Longer Recruiting

  * Using e-cigarettes at least once per week over the past month
  * Not currently enrolled in a face-to-face smoking cessation program

C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Participants (N=1100) will be men and women 18 years of age and older, recruited from four acute inpatient psychiatry units at the Alta Bates Summit Medical Center - Herrick Campus, located in Berkeley, CA, one acute inpatient psychiatry unit at Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute, located in San Francisco, CA, and two acute inpatient psychiatry units at Stanford Hospital, located in Stanford, CA. Inclusion criteria are: smoking 5 or more cigarettes per day and at least 100 cigarettes in one's lifetime, no plan to relocate outside of the greater Bay Area in the next 18 months, and telephone access for scheduling follow-up assessments.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Study exclusion criteria are: dementia or other brain injury precluding ability to participate; non-English speaking; complete homelessness; pregnancy or breastfeeding, and active ulcer disease (PUD). The relationship between nicotine and ulcers is a theoretical concern and our approach to now exclude patients with active ulcer disease is conservative. There is no data to show NRT causes/worsens ulcers. Recruitment of acutely psychotic, manic, or hostile patients will be delayed until there is significant reduction of these symptoms and patients are able to consent to study participation. Threats of violence in particular are taken seriously, and patients will not be recruited if they may be a threat to study staff in the outpatient setting. At this point, non-English measurement and intervention materials are not available. Pregnant smokers will be referred out for more specialized behavioral treatments. Exclusionary criteria are purposefully minimal in order to maximize information about treating tobacco dependence in smokers in inpatient psychiatry. The study sample is anticipated to be diverse with respect to gender and ethnicity, educational and socioeconomic level, and psychiatric diagnoses.
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Schizophrenic subjects (according to DSM-IV-TR criteria) from throughout Sicily, (Italy), who smoke tobacco cigarettes, in stable phase of illness.
* smoke ≥10 factory made cig/day, for at least the past five years
* age 18-65 years
* in good general health
* not currently attempting to quit smoking or wishing to do so in the next 30 days (a specific test will be included to check their unwillingness to quit) 6 months
* committed to follow the trial procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

* use of smokeless tobacco or nicotine replacement therapy
* pregnancy or breastfeeding.
* current or recent (less than 1 yr) past history of alcohol and/or drug abuse
* other significant co-morbidities according to the Investigator's clinical assessment
