What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary measure of results will be the differences in smoking cessation rates between intervention and control groups

    In all patients who report smoking withdrawal, smoking cessation will be confirmed by air carbon monoxide concentration.

    Measured: 12 months after been conducted the intervention

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Reduce the number of cigarettes among those who continue smoking

    One secondary outcome will be to reduce the number of cigarettes. In all patients who continue smoking will be recorded the number of cigarettes smoked per day currently
