If you are LGBT and smoke cigarettes, you can participate in a national and anonymous survey study on reasons for adult LGBT tobacco use. The purpose of the study is to better understand ways of being, thinking and feeling that influence adult LGBT cigarette smoking. The study is being conducted by Dr. Darrell Greene and Dr. Paula Britton, through John Carroll University and the JCU Education and Allied Studies Department. Your participation contributes to understanding the causes of cigarette use in the LGBT communities, and it helps counselors help LGBT smokers seeking help. The study will take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. Take the survey online at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LGBTCigaretteSmokingSurvey
