All patients will be asked for voluntary, verbal informed consent. Should consent not be given, or should consent not be able to be obtained, a patient will not be included in this study. Given that no harm could come from this intervention in the ED, and given that the "intervention" is simply a verbal discussion on the motivation to quit smoking and a telephone conversation with a 1-800-QUIT-NOW professional, we believe that verbal consent would be acceptable. Patients who consent to the study will be given a letter that briefly explains the purpose of the clinical trial (see Appendix B).
