The objective is to know the effectiveness of combined treatment to maintain abstinence in participants with active smoking who are hospitalized in a reference center.
Bupropion and nicotine replacement therapy are the drugs used in this clinical trial.
Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: nicotine replacement therapy or nicotine replacement therapy plus bupropion. All participants will have counseling, conductive behavioral therapy, follow-up at 3, 6 and 12 months with a pulmonologist. Pulmonary function tests will be performed every 3, 6, and 12 months. Abstinence will be corroborated with a cotinine (urine) test and an exhaled carbon monoxide test.
