Primary

The primary outcome parameter is biochemically validated sustained abstinence at 15 months from the start of the smoking cessation treatment. Abstinence is defined as having salivary cotinine levels 20ng/mL are regarded as smokers as well as participants who are lost to follow-up.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Patient characteristics and medical history Demographical data (sex, age, nationality, cultural background, marital status, children, housing, education, source of income, main activity) are collected using an online questionnaire. Medical history will be recorded from medical charts. Internet Skills Internet skills will be measured using an online questionnaire adapted from conceptual definitions for internet skills (van Deursen, Courtois, & van Dijk, 2014). This conceptual definition includes two major skill areas (medium-related Internet skills and content-related Internet skills) which a further spread into five minor skill areas. Medium-related Internet skills include operational and formal skills; content-related Internet skills include informational, communication and strategic skills. Based on a principle component analysis of formal and informational skills a 10 item questionnaire is used that measures internet skills with a 5-point Likert scale, resulting a score range from 10 (unskilled) to 50 (highly skilled). Smoking status The actual smoking status will be measured using an online questionnaire to record e.g. if the patient has already stopped smoking, quit day, if there were relapses, which kind of tobacco products (cigarettes, self-rolled cigarettes, cigarillos, e-cigarettes) are consumed when and how much. Nicotine dependence (Fagerström) Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) (Heatherton et al., 1991) is the most commonly used tool for the assessment of nicotine dependency. The FTND was initially developed to determine whether or not nicotine replacement therapy is needed to treat withdrawal syndrome. It is easily understood and rapidly applied. The scores obtained on the test permit the classification of nicotine dependence into five levels: very low (0 to 2 points); low (3 to 4 points); moderate (5 points); high (6 to 7 points); and very high (8 to 10 points). The instruments evaluates e.g. time from awakening to the day’s fir	—
