Perioperative Smoking Cessation in Surgical Patients Using Short Messaging Service Program.

Smoking can increase the risk of complications around the time of surgery. Researchers are
trying to see if a text messaging program can help smokers stay off cigarettes around the
time of surgery.

The long-term goal of the project is to increase the reach and effectiveness of tobacco use
interventions in healthcare settings. The main objective of this project is to determine
whether an innovative tobacco use intervention targeting abstinence from the morning of
surgery until one week after surgery ("quit for a bit") can increase sustained engagement of
surgical patients in treatment compared with a standard tobacco use intervention that
specifically targets long-term abstinence ("quit for good").

Inclusion Criteria:

- Age 18 years or older

- Greater than 100 cigarettes lifetime consumption and history of smoking cigarettes
every day or most days within the week prior to enrollment

- Willingness to either "quit for a bit" or "quit for good" in the perioperative period,
and;

- Owning a device with access to SMS with an unlimited text plan

Exclusion Criteria:

- Surgery on the day of POE evaluation

- Any active psychiatric condition
