The ED captures an important unserved hard to reach patients who may be missed in these outside the ED smoking cessation initiatives. Lots of interventions have been applied in several EDs in different countries including the UK but no study has compared these interventions in terms of its impact, cost effectiveness, sustainability and ease of application. This systematic review will provide this comparability and generate evidence based amenable to ED smoking cessation approaches. Review objectives What is the best smoking cessation approach amenable to an Emergency Department in terms of ease of application, cost effectiveness, sustainability and impact.
