The primary purpose of this study is to determine the effects of distributing free nicotine
replacement therapy (NRT) to tobacco quitline callers directly. Specifically, this study aims
to:
1. Test if sending active nicotine patches directly will lead to a higher quit rate,
compared to a condition where the quitline assists the smokers to obtain patches by
other means (e.g. via their health plans).
2. Test if sending placebo patches directly will also lead to a higher quit rate.
3. Test if quitline counseling increases the quit rate when the smokers already receive the
nicotine patches.
