ACS is defined as a diagnosis of unstable angina, ST-elevation myocardial infarction, or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. ACS will be confirmed by coronary angiogram before enrollment. If diagnosis in the medical record was unclear or contradictory, a study cardiologist will review the case. Only Type I myocardial infarctions will be included (Type II myocardial infarctions caused by demand ischemia will be excluded). Myocardial infarction caused by spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) was included. We included SCAD cases because SCAD is associated with high rates of both smoking Individuals will be identified for recruitment while hospitalized on an inpatient unit for an ACS event. The hospitalization context can include both the initial emergency treatment for the ACS event, as well as subsequent hospitalizations within 30 days of the ACS event related to ACS treatment (e.g., returning to the hospital for bypass surgery). Additional inclusion criteria include (1) smoking ≥ 1 cigarette per day before hospitalization, (2) willing to consider quitting smoking at discharge, (3) age of 18–75, (4) English fluency, (5) lives within a 1.5 h drive from study site or willing to do all post-discharge study procedures remotely, (6) has regular access to a telephone or is willing and able to use a study issued cell phone, and (7) willing to consent to all study procedures.
