Study Summary

This is a randomized blinded trial of whether hospitalized smokers who are randomly assigned to receive bupropion, an antidepressant, and cognitive-behavioral counseling, are more likely to have quit smoking at the end of treatment and at 6 months compared with smokers randomly assigned to receive placebo and cognitive-behavioral counseling. Because depression is more prevalent among smokers and because smokers who are prone to depression may become depressed when they quit, the hypothesis is that the proportion of quitters who receive the active drug/antidepressant will be greater than the proportion of quitters who receive the placebo drug at 6 months.
