Brief, Novel Smoking Cessation in Primary Care: A Comparative Effectiveness Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of "sampling" of smoking cessation
medications (nicotine patches and lozenges) among smokers seen in primary care settings. Half

the other half will not be provided with these samples. All smokers will be advised to quit
through routine contact with their physician. After the primary care contact, all
participants will be contacted by phone for three brief follow-up interviews, which will
involve answering questionnaires about their smoking habits.
