This is an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy based intervention designed a smoking cessation smartphone application.

Primary outcomes

  1. Engagement with smoking cessation program

    Time frame: 2 months

    Number of times the smoking cessation app is opened, number of days logged in to smoking cessation app

  2. Cessation of smoking

    Time frame: 2 months

    30 day point prevalence abstinence [i.e. no smoking for the past 30 days]

Secondary outcomes

  1. Cessation of smoking

    Time frame: 2 months

    7 day point prevalence abstinence [i.e. no smoking in past 7 days]

Other outcomes

  1. Mediation of engagement

    Time frame: 2 months

    The effect of mindset intervention on engagement outcomes will be mediated by change in mindset.

  2. Mediation of cessation

    Time frame: 2 months

    The effect of mindset intervention on cessation outcomes will be mediated by change in mindset.

  3. Moderation by mindset

    Time frame: 2 months

    Mindset at baseline moderates the treatment effect such that engagement and cessation outcomes improve more for those smokers who start the study with a fixed mindset.

  4. Number of cigarettes smoked per day (reduction)

    Time frame: 2 months

    Test to see whether there is reduced smoking in one arm compared to the other.
