Participant Flow

Of the 282 participants who were consented and screened, 191 were screen fails, 2 withdrew voluntarily before being assigned to a study arm, and 13 were lost to contact between screening and the first study visit. Therefore, only 76 participants were randomized and started the study.

Measure
Varenicline
For the first 3 days after being switched from Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) occurring at one week before the target quit date, smokers in this group will receive varenicline at a dose of 0.5 mg once per day followed by 0.5 mg twice a day for the remaining 4 days of that week. Subsequently, the dose will be 1 mg twice per day, and will remain at that dose for the remainder of the 12 weeks. During the time they receive varenicline, smokers in this group will also receive placebo bupropion and placebo patches. Varenicline Nicotine patches Placebo bupropion Placebo patch
NRT (Nicotine Patches Only)
21 mg/24 h for 2 weeks before the quit date and 7 weeks after the quit date, 14 mg/24 h for 2 weeks, and 7 mg/ 24 h for 2 weeks. After the 1st week, smokers in this group will also receive placebo bupropion and placebo varenicline. Nicotine patches Placebo varenicline Placebo bupropion
Varenicline + Bupropion
For the first 3 days after being switched from Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) occurring at one week before the target quit date, smokers in this group will receive varenicline at a dose of 0.5 mg once per day followed by 0.5 mg twice a day for the remaining 4 days of that week plus bupropion at a dose of 150mg once per day. Subsequently, the dose of varenicline will be 1 mg twice per day and the dose of bupropion will be 150 mg twice per day, and will remain at that dose for the remainder of the 12 weeks. During the time they receive varenicline and bupropion, smokers in this group will also receive placebo patches. Varenicline Bupropion Nicotine patches Placebo patch
Post-quit NRT
Nicotine patches at 21 mg/24 h for 7 weeks after the quit date, 14 mg/24 h for 2 weeks, and 7 mg/ 24 h for 2 weeks. After the 1st week, smokers in this group will also receive placebo bupropion and placebo varenicline. Nicotine patches Placebo varenicline Placebo bupropion Placebo patch

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 11 weeks post quit day.

Population: Twenty-eight subjects dropped from the study prior to their scheduled quit day, so they were not included in these analyses.

Days to first cigarette (i.e. lapse) will be measured via self-report.
