Summary

The Objective of this study is to introduce a practically feasible multifaceted intervention in the preadmission clinic to help reduce smoking in preoperative surgical patients. The investigators aim to study the effectiveness of such a program in promoting positive change in smoking behavior among patients before surgery. The forced abstinence enforced on patients during hospital stay for their surgery can also be used to help smokers remain tobacco free long term. A significant percentage of surgical patients will be receptive to smoking cessation interventions in the preadmission clinic and will refrain from smoking at 24 and 52 weeks after starting the treatment.
