Title: Smoking Cessation in Hospitalized Smokers
Brief Summary: When smokers are hospitalized they quit smoking, either voluntarily or involuntarily. Most of them, however, go back to smoking soon after discharge. This study will test an innovative approach which includes dispensing nicotine patches at discharge, providing proactive telephone counseling post discharge, or giving a combination of the two. The interventions are aimed at increasing the long term quit rate of these patients.

The specific aims of the study are to demonstrate the effects of two interventions, dispensing nicotine patches at discharge and providing proactive telephone counseling soon after discharge, on 12-month quit rates of hospitalized smokers in a 2 x 2 factorial design.
