Title: Smoking Cessation in Patients With COPD (SMOCC) in General Practice
Brief Summary: Background: Smoking cessation is the key element in the treatment of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The role of the general practice in assisting these patients with successful quitting smoking was suboptimal. Therefore we evaluated the effectiveness of two smoking cessation programs (counseling and nicotine replacement) for smokers with COPD in routine general practice, one with (CNB) and one without (CN) the combination with bupropion-SR, compared to usual care (UC) and explored the role of COPD symptoms in successful smoking cessation.

Method: RCT with 667 patients with COPD, 68 general practices were randomly allocated. The usual care group (UC) consisted of 148 patients (22 practices), the first intervention group (counseling plus nicotine replacement (CN) of 243 patients (21 practices) and the second intervention group of 276 patients (25 practices. Main outcome measure was (biochemically verified) point prevalence.

B: Inclusion Criteria:

General Practices working in the capital region in Denmark

Exclusion Criteria:

General Practices where the facilitator works.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

A software program using Anatomical Therapeutical Chemical (ATC) prescription codes and International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC) diagnosis codes selected potential patients with COPD. Criteria: age \>35 years and a diagnosis recorded as COPD or as ICPC code R95/96, or a prescription of at least three times of bronchodilators (ATC code R03a/bc) and/or prescription of at least two times of inhaled anti-inflammatory medication in the past year (ATC code R03). General practitioners (GPs) had to confirm the diagnosis of the selection. Patients were eligible to participate if they met the following criteria:

* Current smoking
* Suffering from COPD according to the GP's diagnosis
* In command of the Dutch language.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Too ill
* Under control of a chest physician
* Serious physical or psychological comorbidity
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Male or female, aged more than 35 years
* Physician labelled diagnosis of COPD, emphysema or chronic bronchitis
* Ex or current smoker of more than 20 pack years
* FEV1 less than 80% of predicted
* Patients may be taking long or short acting bronchodilators and/or inhaled or oral corticosteroids and/or theophyllines.
* Patients having attended at least 60% of the exercise sessions in the initial PR(22)\* \* This is an inclusion criterion for randomisation to receive maintenance PR or standard medical care but not entry into the study

Exclusion Criteria:

* Significant cardiac or pulmonary disease other than COPD such that COPD is the minor contribution to the patients' symptoms.
* Myocardial infarction within the previous 6 months or unstable angina
* Respiratory infection defined as cough, antibiotic use or purulent sputum within 4 weeks prior to randomisation.
* Severe or uncontrolled co-morbid disease, which is likely to affect the outcome of the study.
* Abnormalities in cognitive functioning that would limit the patient's ability to undertake the procedures required in the study.
* Unable to give written informed consent.
