| Pharmacist Intervention | Behavioral | If the patient is randomized to the intervention group, they will complete a series of phone calls with the research pharmacist. These will occur at baseline (within 1 to 2 days of enrollment), 2-weeks, 4-weeks, 6-weeks, 8-weeks, 10-weeks, and 12-weeks. During these calls, the research pharmacist will ask the patient about any past quit attempts; when they had their last cigarette; if they have been prescribed any cessation medications; if they have picked up their medication; if they have started the medication; they will assess their stage of change for quitting; discuss pros, cons, and barriers of quitting; behavioral responses to triggers/urges; and make any necessary nicotine replacement therapy (NRT; i.e., nicotine patches, gums, lozenges, inhalers, and/or nasal sprays) changes. Each call is expected to take 20-30 minutes. |
