What is the purpose of this trial?
The study goal is to get feedback on ways researchers can communicate complex research findings on smoking cessation to better inform patients' decisions to use medication and/or quit smoking. This will help researchers and clinicians to provide effective, easy-to-implement treatments designed to address tobacco-related health disparities in Black and other racial/ethnic subgroups. It will also help improve health literacy to change misperceptions and mistrust on uptake of varenicline and other medication for quitting smoking. A professionally made video will explain research findings relevant for varenicline's mechanisms and outcomes relative to other treatment options.There are 2 parts to this study:* Part 1: Focus Group to help develop the educational tool intervention* Part 2: Randomized portion of study. In this part of the study, participants will be randomized (like flip of coin) to take part in receive the experimental educational intervention or usual methods to help stop smoking. Participants in either arm can choose to receive varenicline and it will be provided as part of study.
