“…The introduction of brief tobacco cessation advice for TB patients has been shown to be feasible in a programme setting [35]. A recent randomised controlled trial in Africa also demonstrated that motivational interviewing by lay counsellors doubled sustained smoking abstinence for at least 6 months among TB patients compared with brief advice alone [36]. A randomised controlled trial assessing the effect of smoking cessation on TB treatment outcome under a programme setting would be worth exploring to definitively answer this question.…”

“…In those that do not, there is often more of a focus on delivery of opportunistic brief advice supporting smoking cessation through alternative existing mechanisms, such as tuberculosis clinics 27, 28. These brief advice approaches vary considerably from the services offered by smoking cessation clinics, largely because they are not designed to follow‐up and track client quit attempts.…”

“…In Pakistan, a behavioural smoking cessation intervention (with or without buproprion therapy) was found to be highly effective in helping patients with suspected TB to quit smoking, compared to usual care (Siddiqi et al, 2013). Moreover, it was found that brief motivational interviewing (MI) delivered by lay health care workers approximately doubled smoking cessation in TB patients in a recent randomised controlled trial in a South African primary health care setting (Louwagie et al, 2014). However, these trials did not identify the predictors of smoking cessation, which may include socio-economic, smokingrelated and psycho-social characteristics.…”
