Study Summary
This trial tests a virtual smoking cessation program to see if it's an effective way to help people quit smoking and reduce risks before surgery. #stopsmoking #smokefree
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who smoke cigarettes, whether daily or occasionally. They must be scheduled for elective surgery in at least 48 hours or visiting a fracture clinic within 14 days of injury/surgery and have an email address. It's not suitable for those who don't meet these criteria.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a virtual smoking cessation program against standard care to see if it helps people quit smoking before/after surgery or with bone fractures. It includes e-learning about smoking risks and tailored emails based on nicotine dependence and motivation to quit.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a non-medical intervention focusing on education and support through email, there are no direct side effects like you'd expect from medication. However, participants may experience usual nicotine withdrawal symptoms when trying to quit.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Intervention Arm: Virtual GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The intervention will involve participating in the study's virtual smoking cessation program. This program consists of 2 components: an e-learning module and a tailored email messaging program based on the participant's motivation to quit smoking and their Fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence score.
Group II: Control Arm: Standard CareActive Control1 Intervention
This arm will receive standard care which may or may not include brief advice to quit smoking from any of the healthcare providers.
