    • Addiction Medicine

    Background:

    • Smoking cessation remains a significant public health challenge.
    • Existing community programs require supplementary, effective interventions.
    • Self-help approaches offer a scalable model for behavior change.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of the Stop Ourselves Smoking (SOS) pilot program.
    • To assess the long-term success rates of a self-help smoking cessation intervention.
    • To determine the adaptability of the SOS program for broader lifestyle interventions.

    Main Methods:
