This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing an internet-based therapy program called Dialectical Behaviour Therapy-informed Skills Training (DBT-ST) to help smokers quit smoking and manage emotional stress. The program uses video calls and group sessions delivered online over 14 weeks. Researchers want to see if this approach works better than usual smoking cessation support.
Many smokers struggle with anxiety, depression, or emotional distress, which makes quitting even harder. This trial exists to test whether teaching specific emotional regulation and coping skills online can help smokers succeed at quitting while also improving their mental health.

If you join the therapy group, you will attend two one-on-one video sessions and twelve group video sessions over 14 weeks, each group session lasting about 2 hours. If you are in the comparison group, you will receive a smoking cessation booklet and attend three monthly health education sessions. Either way, you will be asked about your smoking habits and emotional wellbeing throughout the study.
