PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Assess the feasibility of delivering mobile multimedia messaging (MMS) anti-tobacco messages developed in the K99 to LGBT young adults via texting.

OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 3 arms.
ARM I: Participants receive AR anti-polytobacco MMS messages 3 times a week (TIW) and a check-in text message once a week (QW) for a total of 6 weeks.
ARM II: Participants receive RR anti-polytobacco MMS messages TIW and a check-in text message QW for a total of 6 weeks.
ARM III: Participants receive control MMS messages on health risks of ultraviolet (UV)/sun exposure TIW and a check-in text message QW for a total of 6 weeks.
All participants also receive smoking cessation resources via email during follow up.
After completion of study intervention, participants are followed up at 6 and 12 weeks.
