Step-up to Quit: Using Low-to-moderate Intensity Exercise for Reducing Smoking Cue Reactivity Among Low-income Smokers

The study's primary aim is to test the hypothesis that an intervention that integrates low to moderate physical activity (walking) with evidence-based smoking cessation counseling (LMPA) will result is greater reductions in quit-day reactivity to smoking cues (a behavioral predictor of smoking relapse) as compared to standard care smoking cessation counseling (control group) in a sample of low-income sedentary male and female smokers. The study will also test the hypothesis that the participants randomized to the LMPA intervention will have greater quit rates at one-week and one-month post quit day follow ups.
