Intervention: Minimal phone counseling during the quit attempt
Description: Participants randomized to this condition will receive minimal phone counseling consisting of one 10-minute phone counseling session on the morning of the target quit day. This session will address motivation to quit, strategies for coping with urges to smoke and use of the medication, and will provide support. Thus, all participants will get some counseling support on the quit day, which reflects the fact that initial lapses often occur on the target quit day, and quit day smoking is an important determinant of ultimate outcome.

Intervention: Intensive phone counseling during the quit attempt
Description: Participants randomized to this condition will receive intensive phone counseling consisting of three 15-minute phone sessions (on the morning of the target quit day and on days 2 and 10 after the quit day). The content of the target quit day phone call will emphasize intra-treatment social support, skill execution and avoidance of danger situations. The quit day phone call is intended to augment any other clinician counseling received either on the phone or in person; such interventions tend to have additive effects and produce strong dose-response effects as a function of the duration of the counseling intervention.
