Intervention groups

1

Description
In NRT group, at the beginning of participation, researcher will explain instructions and dosage of using nicotine gums for patients and their family. Then we will give patients two boxes of gums till the time of surgery, which contain 30 gums in each box and each gum, provide 2mg nicotine. During hospitalization days which are near one week, we will use nicotine patches. Each patch is for daily use and contains 17.5 mg nicotine. After that on the time of discharge, two other boxes of gums will be given to them for their demands on non-hospitalization days. This dosage has approved by experts of cessation center and physicians. (Since hospitalization and postoperative conditions may cause some limitations for using nicotine gums, it's better to use patches instead, in these days which are better for observing amount of NRT that has been used). We will give participants a phone number for contact to researcher and report their allergic reactions, and other problems which make them unable to cooperate with study and also for extra questions.
