PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months post randomization

Population: Participants who reported 30-day point prevalence abstinence at 12 months post-treatment and who were not excluded as ineligible after randomization.

Percentage of participants reporting no smoking in the past 30 days, 12 months post-treatment. Participants missing follow-up data are excluded for the complete-case analysis. Exact 2-sided CI was based on the observed proportion of participants.
