Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to pilot a method of collecting the post-discharge follow-up data required by the Joint Commission Tobacco Measure Set, using text messages sent to and received from patients' cellular-telephones. It also aims to assess whether specially designed relapse prevention text messages designed to encourage abstinence from smoking, can increase the proportion of smokers who remain abstinent during the first month after discharge from hospital.
