Summary
The goal of this research study is to examine the effects of a treatment for helping homeless veterans who smoke to stop smoking. Participants in the study will be assigned to one of two study groups. Participants in the first group will be referred to the local Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center's Smoking Cessation Clinic for treatment. Second group participants will receive a behavioral treatment designed to reward smokers for quitting and staying quit. These participants will also receive telephone counseling and medications for smoking cessation.
