The impact of a smoking cessation program on substance abuse inpatients was investigated. Thirty-nine male veterans were randomly assigned to stop-smoking (n = 19) or wait-list conditions (n = 20), and followed up 3- and 6-months postdischarge. Compared to wait-list subjects, stop-smoking subjects were more likely to continue inpatient treatment at least 30 days following study enrollment and reported greater posttreatment reductions in cigarette nicotine delivery. Importantly, assessments of postdischarge substance use and hospital readmission rates did not reveal any adverse effects from participation in the stop-smoking program.
