Note. aBy intention-to-treat analysis, assumed all non-responded follow-up patients as current smoker, not at action stage of readiness to quit and no quit attempt in past 24 hours; and bReduction by at least 50% from baseline; and cAdjusted for anti-diabetic medication step-up adjustment at 6-month.
