ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to help people stop smoking by using a chatbot on their smartphones. The goal is to see if this digital support can effectively assist smokers in quitting and to understand how well this program can be put into practice in the community. The study is currently looking for participants who are at least 18 years old, live in Zhuhai for the next six months, and smoke at least one cigarette or use e-cigarettes daily. Additionally, participants need to have a smartphone and be comfortable using WeChat, a popular messaging app.

If you decide to join the study, you can expect to receive support through the chatbot, which will guide you in your journey to quit smoking. This program aims to make the quitting process easier and more accessible for everyone involved. However, those who have difficulties communicating or are already part of another smoking cessation program cannot participate. This trial is an exciting opportunity for smokers looking for help to quit in a modern and tech-friendly way.
