Summary

This trial will test if financial incentives & medications help patients hospitalized for heart disease quit smoking. It could lead to better ways to get people to quit & improve health.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult smokers hospitalized due to a heart attack or heart surgery, living within 30 miles of UVMMC. Participants should be current cigarette users who have smoked more than 5 cigarettes per day in the past 3 months. Those with severe dementia, active cancer (except certain skin/prostate cancers), major exercise-limiting diseases, non-English speakers, or regular users of non-combusted tobacco are not eligible.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if financial rewards and nicotine replacement therapy can help cardiac patients quit smoking after being hospitalized for a serious heart event. The goal is to see if these methods increase adherence to quitting smoking compared to usual care without incentives.
What are the potential side effects?
Nicotine Replacement Therapy may cause mild side effects like nausea, headaches, skin irritation from patches, and sleep disturbances. Financial Incentives do not have direct medical side effects but could affect patient motivation.
