Timeframe: week 6, 12, 16 and 24

The primary index of smoking behavior will be subject's self-report of smoking using a diary method for the past 7 days prior to the assessment. The subject self-report will be supplemented by: expired CO and by urine cotinine concentrations. Abstinence (yes/no) will be defined as no cigarettes during the past 7 days and an expired CO of \<=8 ppm.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Weeks 6, 12, 16 and 24

Tobacco withdrawal symptoms were measured using the Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale (MNWS). Eight withdrawal symptoms are each rated for their severity on a scale from 0 (not present) to 4 (severe) for the past week and summed to calculate a total score at each time point, with a score range of 0-32. The average change from baseline for all participants at the specified time points were determined.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Weeks 6, 12, 16 and 24

Tobacco dependence was measured using the Cigarette Dependence Scale (CDS-12). The CDS-12 scale is a 12-item scale that assesses some components of formal diagnostic systems' (e.g., DSM-IV and ICD-10) definitions of dependence with an emphasis on compulsion to smoke, withdrawal, loss of control, time allocation, neglect of other activities, and persistence despite harm. Response choices are on a five-point Likert scale to measure dependence (low =1; high = 5), the total score is the sum of all 12 items with a score range of 12 - 60. The change in scores from baseline at each time point were measured.
