Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 7-day Point Prevalence Quit Rate

    The definition of this measure requires: (a) no self-reported smoking (not even a puff of a cigarette) for at least the 7 days prior to the assessment, and (b) biochemical verification of abstinence.

    Week 12

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Continuous Abstinence

    12 weeks (with first 1 week initial grace period)

  • 7-day Point Prevalence Quit Rate

    Week 24

  • Number of Days to Lapse

    Assessed from the target quit day through 52 weeks

  • Number of Days to Relapse

    Assessed from the target quit day through 52 weeks

  • Initial Cessation

    Assessed for the first seven days after the target quit date

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

Combination NRT and Counseling

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Combination Nicotine replacement therapy (cNRT) (patch and lozenge) and smoking cessation counseling will be provided to participants. Lozenges will be given for 12 weeks with a 1 week pre-quit titration and patch for 12 weeks. Seven smoking counseling sessions will be given during treatment.

Drug: Combination NRT (Nicotine patch, Nicotine lozenge)Behavioral: Intensive smoking counseling

Varenicline (Chantix) and Counseling

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Varenicline (pill) and smoking cessation counseling will be provided to participants for 12 weeks with 1 week pre-quit titration. Seven smoking cessation counseling sessions will be given during treatment.

Drug: VareniclineBehavioral: Intensive smoking counseling

Placebo Medicine and Counseling

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Placebo pill and smoking cessation counseling will be provided to participants for 12 weeks with 1 week pre-quit titration. Placebo lozenges will be given for 12 weeks with a 1 week pre-quit titration and patch for 12 weeks. Seven smoking counseling sessions will be given during treatment.

Drug: PlaceboBehavioral: Intensive smoking counseling
