Smoking cessation support is provided by smoking cessation outpatient clinics in our country. Smokers with chronic airway diseases can also apply to these services by making an appointment from quit lines. Quit rates of that group patients were found to be similar to the general population. In novel smoking cessation support approaches immediate cessation support is reported to be more effective than routine practice. The sample in these studies consists of individuals who applied for lung health screening programmes. There is no study in the literature examining the effect of this immediate support on patients with chronic airway diseases' quit success. Our aim with this study is to examine impact of immediate cessation support by getting an appointment to the same cessation clinic instantly on our sample's cessation success.
