  Purpose

The aim of this study is to determine the success rates for stopping smoking with varenicline in Germany. The main measure of success will be continuous abstinence from smoking (not a single puff) in the last week of the standard 12 week treatment period. Additional information will be gathered regarding prescribing practices in Germany, smoking history, reasons why smokers quit smoking and re-start smoking, smoking related illnesses and the tolerability of varenicline.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Percentage of Participants Who Abstained From Smoking at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Week 12 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The use of nicotine was recorded using Nicotine Use Inventory (NUI) to determine the participants who abstained from smoking for the previous 7 days. A responder for the 7-day point prevalence was defined as those with 'no' answers to the following two questions: Did the participant smoke any cigarettes (even a puff) in the last 7 days; and did participant use any other tobacco products (example pipe, cigars, snuff, chewing tobacco) in the last 7 days.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Level of Nicotine Dependence Measured by the Fagerstrom Test [ Time Frame: Baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) was designed to provide measure of nicotine dependence related to cigarette smoking. It contains 4 yes-no and 2 multiple choice questions. Items are scored 0-3 for multiple choice items, items are summed to yield total score of 0-10 (0=minimum to 10=maximum nicotine dependence).
