Summary
Primary care centers can play a very important role in helping people to stop smoking. There
is a large body of research on the effectiveness of specific interventions especially
addressed to people who want to stop smoking. In addition to that, there are no studies with
a large sample of individuals included that tested the complete range of interventions
recommended nowadays for helping people in the different smoking cessation stages of change
and with different degrees of physical and psychological dependence, especially including
motivational interviewing in those not interested in cessation in the very next weeks. This
study will test a complex intervention that at first classifies smokers in stages and after
that treats every smoker according to what stage he/she is in at the moment, his/her degree
of dependence and his/her own characteristics.
