Interventions
Aerobic Exercise
Participants will select a YMCA branch and will be assigned a personal fitness instructor who will oversee a 15-week exercise intervention. The weekly exercise prescription is 75 minutes of aerobic training.
Counseling
Participants will receive the standard tobacco cessation package of up to 5 proactive interactions from the Texas Tobacco Quitline (TTQ). Interactions are typically phone calls, but can be chat or live text if the participant prefers. Interaction 1 is for assessment and quit date planning, Interaction 2 occurs prior to the quit date and can be a group session, Interaction 3 occurs shortly following the quit date, and Interactions 4 and 5 are for relapse prevention if the smoker has quit or problem solving if they have not quit. TTQ also offers a tobacco cessation text messaging program and access to a web portal with a variety of cessation resources.
Nicotine patch
On the target quit day (week 6), participants will be provided 8 weeks of nicotine replacement therapy (24-hour transdermal nicotine patches \[TNP\]).
