Abstract

Background: Stopping smoking has beneficial effects on pulmonary function, but few studies have investigated which factors predict a favorable outcome. Methods: We analyzed the results of a prospective 3-month smoking cessation program. Smokers who had quit were defined as those abstaining from smoking between visits at 8 and 12 weeks (verified by exhaled carbon monoxide ≤10 ppm). Baseline pulmonary function was compared with that at the end of the program.
