入选标准

  • Adults aged 18 years or over, admitted to participating hospitals with a history of smoking 10 or more cigarettes per day on average in the four weeks prior to their hospital admission, interested in quitting smoking, willing to use pharmacotherapy and available for 12 months follow-up post-discharge and willing/capable to provide signed informed consent will be eligible for the study. This study will not recruit any outpatient smokers.

排除标准

  • Patients who do not meet all of the above inclusion criteria, those who have a terminal illness with an anticipated survival of of less than 6 months, those who have an unstable cardiovascular status or a current major psychiatric illness as well as those admitted to outpatient clinics will be excluded from the study. Patients unable to communicate in English and provide written consent will also be excluded due to the potential need to regularly communicate with the investigators during the entire trial period and the lack of funding available for interpreters. Further exclusion criteria for this study are women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant in the next 6 months, patients who are current (on the day of hospital admission) users of smoking cessation medications or approaches (i.e. NRT, varenicline, bupropion [Zyban™], clonidine, nortriptyline, electronic nicotine cigarettes), those currently participating in other smoking cessation programs or study, patients who have completed a 12 weeks or longer course of varenicline in the 12 months prior to their hospitalisation, those who have had intolerable adverse reactions from the use of varenicline or NRTs in the past as well as people who have contraindications for their use (including those using medications known to have major interactions with either varenicline or NRT).
