Name Time Method Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives: The safety objective is to gather safety data in subjects with cardiovascular disease for 12 weeks of treatment with varenicline 1 mg BID or placebo followed by a 40 week nontreatment follow-up period.;<br> Main Objective: Main objective: The primary efficacy objective of this protocol is a comparison of 12 weeks of treatment with varenicline 1 mg BID to placebo for smoking cessation in subjects with cardiovascular disease and to evaluate continuous abstinence from smoking 40 weeks after the treatment period.<br><br> ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the 4-week Continuous Quit Rate (CQR) for Weeks 9-12, i.e., the proportion of subjects who are able to maintain complete abstinence from cigarette smoking and other nicotine use, with end-expiratory exhaled CO measurements =10 ppm, for the planned last 4 weeks of treatment.
