Summary

This study tests whether a nurse-led smoking cessation program with free drugs and follow-up at healthy life centers helps heart patients quit smoking better than just giving them written information. About 221 daily smokers hospitalized for a heart event will be split into two groups to compare quit rates at 6 months. The goal is to reduce smoking and prevent future heart problems.
