Title: Interventions for Cardiovascular Disease: "Real-World" Effectiveness of Combined Pharmacotherapy and Behavioural Counseling for Smoking Cessation
Brief Summary: Research Aims

The aims of this research study are:

1. To determine which of the following three smoking cessation medications is most effective in achieving cessation:

   * Nicotine Patch
   * Nicotine Patch + gum or inhaler
   * Varenicline (Champix;
2. To investigate how often participants experience neuropsychiatric symptoms over the course of their cessation attempt and to assess whether:

   * They occur more often when taking one medication versus another
   * They occur more often in those with or without psychiatric illnesses.

Hypotheses to be Tested

The hypotheses to be tested include the following:

1. The CO-confirmed continuous abstinence rate from 5 weeks to 52 weeks following a target quit date will be significantly higher in smokers receiving long-term transdermal NRT in combination with other NRT products or those receiving varenicline compared to those receiving transdermal NRT alone.
2. Some participants will experience neuropsychiatric symptoms during their cessation attempt, and those in the varenicline group will experience a greater incidence of neuropsychiatric symptoms than those in the groups receiving transdermal NRT alone or in combination with other NRT products. Patients with psychiatric illnesses will report higher levels of withdrawal symptoms than those without psychiatric illnesses.
