Summary

Hospitalization for elective knee or hip replacement surgery presents an outstanding opportunity to motivate people to quit smoking, because it provides an opportunity to encourage patients to remain smoke-free as they proactively quit to optimize their surgery outcomes. This study will conduct a comparative effectiveness trial of patients who quit smoking pre-operatively, comparing the current standard of care with a novel comprehensive relapse prevention intervention guided by Marlatt's Relapse Prevention Model.
