Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Varenicline (Chantix)
76 participants will be assigned to 4 behavioral therapy cessation for smoking cessation and will be randomized to receive Varinecline with instructions for administration for 12 weeks starting 1 week before "Smoking Quit Date" as suggested by the manufacturer: Days 1 to 3: 0.5 mg orally once a day Days 4 to 7: 0.5 mg orally twice a day Days 8 to end of treatment: 1 mg orally twice a day.
Intervention 'Varinecline (Chantix)' and Intervention 'Behavioral Therapy'
|
A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial that will evaluate the effect of Varenicline (Chantix), in 2 parallel groups of habitual waterpipe smokers who are willing to quit (n=152).
76 subjects will be randomized to receive varenicline (Chantix).
The participants, study investigators and personnel who will be interviewing the participants and collecting the clinical data, will be blinded to the assigned treatment.
This intervention is for all study participants and it involves 4 visits to the hospital.
Each visit include a 30-min one-on-one individual session with the specialized therapist during which participants will be taught how to manage any withdrawal symptoms they experience, how to anticipate high-risk situations, deal with smoking triggers, achieve and maintain their goal to stop waterpipe smoking.

|
up to 3 months
|
Seven-day point prevalence abstinence
Time Frame: Last 7 days before final visit
|
Percent of subjects who had no waterpipe use during the seven-day preceding final follow-up.
Outcome will be assessed by self-reports, exhaled Carbon Monoxide and urine cotinine levels.
