College smoking-cessation using cell phone text messaging

(Disponible en anglais seulement.)

College students who were habitual smokers participated in a web and cell phone cessation intervention. At 6-week follow-up, 43% had made at least one 24-hour quit attempt and 22% had quit according to a 7-day measure. Text messaging may be an effective cessation intervention for college students.
