| Detailed Description | Recruitment to this study was terminated (on February 23, 2010) earlier than originally planned because recruitment was much slower than expected and therefore the study has already achieved its main objective of assessing the feasibility of conducting a larger study of similar design to investigate the efficacy of smoking cessation therapy in a pre-surgical setting. The decision to end recruitment to the trial was not based on any safety concerns. | |||
