Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The primary outcome is that 12 months after the initial consultation with their doctors, the amount of cigarettes smoked per day by patients in the experimental condition is lower than the amount of cigarettes smoked per day by patients in the control condition. Smoking status is assessed with a questionnaire that participants fill in upon inclusion into the study in the general practice. Follow-up takes place via telephone after 3 and 12 months. Cigarette consumption is measured with Menge-Frequenz-Index (Kraus & Augustin, 2005).<br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Secondary outcomes are related to Quality of Life and general well-being. Baseline assessment takes place with a questionnaire that participants fill in upon inclusion into the study in the general practice. Follow-up takes place via telephone after 3 and 12 months. The questionnaire includes items from the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (Heatherton, Kozlowski, Frecker & Fagerström, 1991), Menge-Frequenz Index (Kraus & Augustin, 2005), SmoCess-GP (Jung et al., 2008), Fragebogen zur Änderungsbereitschaft bei Rauchern (Hannöver et al., 2002), SF-12 (Ware, Kosinski & Keller, 1996), EQ-5D-3L (EuroQol Group, 1990) and Visual Simplified Respiratory Questionnaire (Perez et al., 2009). Moreover, general practitioners document the patient's health status (e.g. severity of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or cardiovascular disease) on a form during consultations with patients.
