Quit For Life (QFL): Smoking Cessation Among Chinese Smokers Living With HIV

The purpose of this two arm randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to test if a smoking cessation program called Quit for Life (QFL) which was developed by the investigators is effective for patients in China with HIV who smoke. This program is designed to suit the needs of people with HIV who smoke in China. Eligible participants who provide consent will be randomized into either the QFL or the Control group. The QFL group will receive a quit smoking program that lasts for 8 weeks with two parts- 1. 4 sessions with a trained counselor who will discuss the participants' smoking habits and strategies to help them quit. 2. Messages sent to the participants' cell phone using WeChat. The Control group will not have sessions with a trained counselor or receive messages sent to their cell phone. Both groups will be offered nicotine replacement therapy and a self-help guide with information about quitting smoking.
