An automated support program raised quit rates among mothers by 3.9 percentage points in a 2026 study. The program started at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Parents answered questions about smoking before their child’s visit. Those who reported smoking were automatically connected to Nicotine Replacement Therapy, such as nicotine patches. They could also choose free counseling resources. The goal was to make getting help easy, without judgment. That 3.9-point increase means roughly four more mothers quit per 100. It reflects the whole program, not the effect of patches alone. The article does not give the study’s size or follow-up length. It reports that the program has since expanded across the hospital system. Penn Medicine is now testing this approach with adults at Penn Family Care. That six-month test began in September. In an earlier January test, about 70% chose to receive the treatment. That figure applies only to people who answered the question and reported smoking. Choosing treatment is not the same as quitting, so the two results matter in different ways. The article also highlights a gap in access. Bettigole said only about 10% of her team’s patients who smoke receive treatment each year. The new approach aims to make support easier to reach. For BioSocial members, this is a reason to track access alongside progress. Notes could include when support was offered, when treatment began, and smoke-free days. Comparing those timelines with community peers may reveal shared hurdles. It also keeps the focus on what happened after an offer—not just whether someone accepted it. What made quit-smoking support easier to use for you, and how did your smoke-free days change afterward?
