What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Biochemically validated smoking abstinence
Time Frame: 12 month follow-up after randomization
Self-reported smoking abstinence will be biochemically validated by an exhaled carbon monoxide level < 4 parts per million (p.p.m) and negative for salivary cotinine test.
12 month follow-up after randomization

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Self-reported 7-day point prevalence quit rate
Time Frame: 6, 12-month follow-up
Subjects report that they had not smoked within the recent 7 days.
6, 12-month follow-up
Smoking Reduction
Time Frame: end of intervention; 3,6,12 month after randomization
Reduction in daily cigarette consumption by at least 50% compared with baseline.
end of intervention; 3,6,12 month after randomization
Quit Attempt
Time Frame: end of intervention; 3,6,12 month after randomization
Self-reported abstinence for at least 24 hours
end of intervention; 3,6,12 month after randomization
The change in transtheoretical model stages
Time Frame: end of intervention; 3,6,12 month after randomization
There are five stages according to the transtheoretical model, which are pre-contemplation (attempt to quit more than 30 days later), contemplation (attempt to quit within 30 days but more than 7 days), preparation (attempt to quit within 7 days), action stage (quitting) and maintain stage (maintain abstinence more than 6 months).
end of intervention; 3,6,12 month after randomization
the Fagerstrom tolerance questionnaire
Time Frame: end of intervention; 3,6,12 month after randomization
Nicotine Dependence will be measured by the Fagerstrom tolerance questionnaire.
end of intervention; 3,6,12 month after randomization
Use of smoking cessation services
Time Frame: end of intervention; 3,6,12 month after randomization
Smoking cessation services include nicotine replacement treatment, counseling for smoking cessation, telephone counselling and other services.
end of intervention; 3,6,12 month after randomization
Biochemically validated smoking abstinence
Time Frame: 6 month follow-up
self-reported smoking abstinence will be biochemically validated by an exhaled carbon monoxide level < 4 parts per million (p.p.m) and negative for salivary cotinine test.
6 month follow-up
