Feature-Level Analysis of a Smoking Cessation Smartphone App Based on a Positive Psychology Approach: Prospective Observational Study

Feature-Level Analysis of a Smoking Cessation Smartphone App Based on a Positive Psychology Approach: Prospective Observational Study

A handful of pilot feasibility studies exist, only a few of which offer insight into app usage over time. App usage ranged from 7 days for a smartphone app using a gamification approach to smoking cessation [18], to 34 and 32 days, respectively, in a pilot randomized control trial that compared an ACT-based app to the National Cancer Institute (NCI)’s app Quit Guide [22].

A Smoking Cessation App for Nondaily Smokers (Version 2 of the Smiling Instead of Smoking App): Acceptability and Feasibility Study

A Smoking Cessation App for Nondaily Smokers (Version 2 of the Smiling Instead of Smoking App): Acceptability and Feasibility Study

Nondaily smoking continues to be a public health issue with limited empirically supported options to support smoking cessation. Currently, 25.4% of all adult smokers are nondaily smokers [1]. This prevalence has been increasing over the past decade, from a prevalence of 20.2% in 2008 [2] to 25.4% in 2018 [1]. In 2007, the National Institutes of Health highlighted nondaily smoking as a public health issue [3].

Leveraging Positive Psychology to Support Smoking Cessation in Nondaily Smokers Using a Smartphone App: Feasibility and Acceptability Study

Leveraging Positive Psychology to Support Smoking Cessation in Nondaily Smokers Using a Smartphone App: Feasibility and Acceptability Study

A recent systematic review identified only 6 smoking cessation apps with some level of scientific support, only 3 (50%) of which were available in an app store [21]. Thus, there continues to be a need for empirically grounded smoking cessation apps. To address this need, we developed a smoking cessation app for nondaily smokers. Nondaily smokers are even less likely than daily smokers to seek or receive treatment [16].
