Guidelines recommend brief smoking cessation interventions for hospitalized smokers reporting low motivation-to-quit. However, an intensive smoking cessation intervention may improve smoking cessation for these smokers. We conducted a secondary analysis of a pre-post interventional study that tested the efficacy of a proactive approach systematically offering intensive smoking cessation intervention to all hospitalized smokers with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) compared to a reactive approach offering it only to smokers willing to quit.

We analyzed data from one study site in Switzerland, which recorded motivation-to-quit smoking at study inclusion between 08.2009 and 02.2012. The primary outcome was smoking cessation at 1- and 5-year. We tested for interaction by participant’s motivation-to-quit score (low vs. high motivation), and calculated multivariable adjusted risk ratios (RR), stratified by motivation score.

We obtained motivation scores for 230 smokers. Follow-up was 94% (217/230) at 1-year and 68% (156/230) at 5-year. Among participants with low motivation to quit, 19% of smokers in the reactive phase had quit at 1 year compared to 50% of smokers in the proactive phase (multivariable adjusted RR = 2.85, 95%CI:0.91–8.91). Among highly motivated smokers, rates did not differ between phases: 48% vs. 49% (multivariable adjusted RR = 1.02, 95%CI:0.75–1.39, p-value for interaction between motivation-to-quit categories = 0.10). At 5-year follow-up, the point estimates were similar.

While our study has limitations inherent to the study design and sample size, we found that a proactive approach to offer systematic smoking cessation counseling for smokers with ACS reporting low motivation to quit was associated with higher smoking cessation rates at 1 year.
