Methods: Study design: Randomized single blind clinical trial. Study population: Patients over 18 who are willing to start a smoking cessation program, who have mobile phone, who are able to receive and send messages, and who have a score greater than 5 or equal to 5 on the Richmond scale.
Sample size: 160 patients per arm to detect a difference in the percentage of smoking cessation than 10% (14.9% vs. 4.9%) between the two groups. Intervention: Experimental group: Health advice and support messages to mobile phone patients.
Control group: Health advice. Assessment of the primary endpoint: At 6 months (positive/negative coximetry test).
