Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
All participants will receive the computer-based education program, brief counselling, pamphlet, Smokers' Helpline referral, and telephone follow-up.
Altogether you will be spending about 30 minutes to complete the assessment, education program and counselling.
patients will be asked for their permission to inform their family physician about their participation in this study. Their smoking status, date of surgery, quit date, and recommended medication (when appropriate) will be faxed to your family physician to assist them quitting process. If they are willing to accept the assistance from Smokers' Helpline, their name and phone number will be faxed to the Smokers' Helpline, and someone from Smokers' Helpline will call you in the next 48 hours to follow-up.
The investigators will monitor patient's smoking behavior by measuring expired carbon monoxide, a gas in the air they breathe out, during their pre-surgery visit and on the day of surgery. We also will measure urine cotinine (a by-product of nicotine) by taking urine samples and check their smoking status by asking questions about their smoking habits on the day of surgery, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after their surgery. During the telephone interview follow-up, we will remind them to do the urine cotinine and mail it to us. (Prepaid mail with urine cotinine strip will be provided at the time of the 2nd visit on the day of surgery.) Each follow-up phone call will take about 6 -10 minutes.
A one-month,3 month and 6 month follow up will be done by the research coordinator to assess the smoking status. Brief counseling (\< 5 mins) will be provided.

computer based patient education
The patients will complete a pre module and post module set of questions to determine whether their knowledge about peri operative smoking cessation increase smoking has changed. According to their willingness and eligibility, pharmacotherapy will be given.
