title: [The smoking status of patients with acute coronary syndrome and effect of simple intervention on smoking cessation.].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the abstinence rate and relapse rate of smoker with ACS after discharged from hospital, to evaluate the effect of simple smoking cessation interventions.
  
  
  METHODS
  150 smokers with ACS were collected and was divided into simple intervention group (n = 87) and control group (n = 63), respectively, followed up for 6 months. 2 months, 6 months abstinence rate, relapse rate were compared between two groups, logistic regression model was used to analyzed the relevant factors for relapse.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The smoking rate in patients with ACS was 31.14%, 6-month continuous abstinence rate and 6-month relapse rate was 64.6%, 36.4%, respectively. 6-month continuous abstinence rate and relapse rate between simple quit-smoking intervention group and control group showed no difference. Nicotine dependence score more than 4 points can be used as predictor of relapse.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The smoking rate and the abstinence rate of smoker with ACS is higher than the general population, simple quit-smoking intervention do not increase the success rate of quit-smoking, indicated the need to strengthen the intervention in patients with ACS and smoking.
