No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators are proposing to examine new strategies for helping patients hospitalized for an acute coronary event adhere to recommendations to quit smoking. The investigators are interested to see whether offering financial incentives for smoking cessation, combined with medications to ameliorate withdrawal, can significantly reduce smoking in a population for which continued smoking has disproportionately negative health effects. The proposed trial can provide significant knowledge for promoting adherence to smoking cessation guidelines in patients with cardiac disease
