Why did patients apply to this trial?

After living with someone who doesn’t smoke cigarettes, I’ve had to cut back on smoking. Having to go outside to smoke instead of staying inside has really made a difference on the amount of cigarettes I smoke now. The smell has seemed to almost be stronger to me and it’s an awful smell. It’s. Abad habit anyways and I could use cigarette money for something useful.
