Abstract in brief

The study tested an Internet-based group contingency management program that used monetary rewards and peer support to help people stop smoking by measuring their breath carbon monoxide (CO) levels.
Participants, divided into small teams, submitted CO videos online, monitored each other's progress, and communicated via an online forum, with rewards given for reduced or zero CO levels during different phases.
Results showed significant reductions in CO levels during the intervention, positive participant feedback, and overall acceptance of the program, indicating it is a feasible and promising approach to promoting smoking cessation.]
