  • 5-150 Considering all non-respondent (smokers and non-smokers at baseline) as smokers at follow up, prevalence of smoking would be 545/1530 (35.6%) in group A and 571/1826 (31.3%) in group B. Taking into an account the randomisation by cluster: non-parametric Mann-Whitney test: p=0.01. Grouping smokers and cessation <6 months.
