 This study will recruit 660 smokers with hypertension or elevated blood pressure. Given that African Americans are at high risk for both post-cessation weight gain and hypertension, the majority of participants recruited will be African American. Participants will be randomly assigned to either of the following: a a validated smoking cessation program followed by a validated weight control program TONE, which consists of changes in dietary intake and physical activity; or b the same smoking cessation program followed by a general health education contact-time control program. A follow-up evaluation will occur 1 year following the end of treatment.
