We’re looking to recruit 3 people – 1 male and 2 females smokers aged 18 to 65 – to take part in research about methods of giving up smoking.

For this part of the study we ONLY want people who are NOT CURRENTLY USING gum as part of their nicotine replacement… but may have done so in the past.

(MUST LIVE IN ZONE 1-6)

This research will be split into two parts.

Part 1 will involve you meeting a researcher in store where you usually buy your smoking cessation products, before going back to your home with the researcher for a short follow up chat. Overall this will take approximately 1 hour.

Part 2 will involve you trialling a new smoking cessation product of your choice, and feeding back about your experience online. Please note that you’ll need access to a laptop/computer and internet, as well as a quality smart phone camera (for filming). So you will have access to both and at least 30 minutes per day to engage with tasks.

Part 1 sessions can be arranged for the following times;

Tuesday 5th:- 12.00noon to 4.00pm
Wednesday 6th:- 10.00am to 4.00pm

Part 2, the online session, will run from Monday 11th to Wednesday 13th March.

Incentive for Part 1 is £55 in cash.
Incentive for Part 2 is £40 paid by BACS.
