Combination Product:
• Goal2Quit + NRT Sampling
Participants in the Goal2Quit + NRT Sampling condition will receive a download code to download the Goal2Quit mobile application. Goal2Quit is a mobile app for cigarette smokers with elevated symptoms of depression. Within the app, users identify values, create activities, schedule activities, rate mood daily, and track cigarette smoking. Participants in Group B will also receive a two-week "starter kit" sample of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT; 14mg patch and 4mg lozenge). Participants will be asked to utilize Goal2Quit regularly, at least once per day, as well as the NRT sample in an attempt to quit smoking. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaire measures weekly for 8 weeks, with a final follow-up questionnaire at 12 weeks following study enrollment.
