Detailed Description

This pilot trial will evaluate a text message intervention (Moms Quit) to be initiated with postpartum women within one month of delivery. Moms Quit is a tailored program to support smoking abstinence among new mothers who are either current smokers or quit during their most recent pregnancy. Investigators will randomize 30 postpartum women, stratified by recent/current smoking status, into Moms Quit versus vs. CONTROL. Investigators hypothesize that participants receiving Moms Quit will have, on average, a significantly longer period of self-reported prolonged abstinence compared to CONTROL.
