Abstract

BACKGROUND

• Drug treatment populations are disproportionately affected by morbidity and mortality attributable to tobacco use. However, with appropriately intensive intervention, individuals in drug treatment settings can succeed in their efforts towards smoking cessation.

• The Tobacco Dependence Clinic (TDC) is a program that provides smoking cessation counseling and up to 26 weeks of free pharmacotherapy for clients through Vancouver Coastal Health Addiction Services, British Columbia, Canada.

• The purpose of this study is to provide evaluation data (in terms of program completion and smoking cessation outcomes) from the TDC.
