TL;DR
Results indicate that an effective smoking cessation program for use in Dutch general practice, already shown to be feasible, is now available and generally consistent with recent international literature.

The results suggest that any GP who adopts this simple routine could expect about 25 long-term successes yearly, which would exceed half a million ex-smokers a year if all GPs in the UK participated, and could not be matched by increasing the present 50 or so special withdrawal clinics.

Giving advice routinely against smoking has a useful effect, and showing an immediate, personal, and potentially harmful consequence of smoking using a CO-oximeter may improve this, particularly in lower socioeconomic groups.

The effect of the offer and prescription of gum was to motivate more smokers to try to stop, to increase the success rate among those who tried, and to reduce the relapse rate of those who stopped.

Both PI and PI/M proved to be superior to usual care in motivating attempts to quit at both one-month and six-month follow-ups, and logistic regression analyses indicated that participants receiving the self-help manual in addition to the health provider message were between two and three times more likely to quit smoking during the study period.

The smoking prevalence estimate based on cotinine levels was found to be 1.7% lower than that for self-reported smoking status, and the small proportion of false negatives and false positives suggests that commercially collected data banks can be valid sources of prevalence data.

The results indicate that heavy smokers are more dependent on cigarettes, and underscore the importance of addressing potential physical dependence factors when developing smoking-cessation treatments for heavy smokers.
