title: The course of relapse across 36 months for smokers from a smoking-cessation program.
abstract: The aim of this study is to examine relapse of 72 smokers who stopped smoking with a behavioral smoking cessation program and relapse in the period from the end-of-treatment to the 36-mo. follow-up. The relapse occurred fundamentally between the end-of-treatment and the 6- (53.7% relapse) and the 12-mo. follow-up (61.1% relapse), and more slowly beyond 12-mo. follow-ups with 72.2% and 70.4% relapse at the 24- and 36-mo. follow-up.
