This study examined an innovative approach to motivate African American light smokers to engage in behavior change. Twelve focus groups were conducted to assess attitudes and beliefs about engaging a non-smoker in the home in smoking behavior change efforts. Smokers reported an interest in receiving cessation assistance from a non-smoker in their home. The authors conclude that African American non-smokers living with a smoker may be an appropriate target group to motivate smoking behavior change in smokers.
