BuTT-Out Trial Summary
This trial is testing a remote smoking cessation bundle to see if it's feasible and can reduce smoking rates and postoperative complications.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who currently smoke cigarettes and have a surgery scheduled at least one week away or not yet booked. It's not for those needing emergency surgery, using non-cigarette tobacco, marijuana, or vaping products, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, anyone unable to consent, or participants in other smoking cessation studies.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a remote smoking cessation program designed to help smokers quit before their surgical appointments. The goal is to see if this virtual support can reduce the number of people who smoke and lower the risk of complications after surgery compared to standard advice.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves counseling and support rather than medication, there are no direct side effects like you'd expect with drugs. However, quitting smoking can cause withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, cravings, and difficulty concentrating.
