Summary

The purpose of this randomized control trial is two- fold. The primary hypothesis of the study is that smoking cessation counseling delivered through trained medical students will lead to higher rates of abstinence amongst patients in the intervention group, as compared to a control group, when measured by self-reported and biochemical testing at 6 months after enrolment .

The secondary hypothesis is that medical students engaging in a structured curriculum that includes counseling hospitalized smokers will show demonstrable increases in knowledge, confidence in their abilities, and use of smoking cessation techniques in regular practice.
