| Scientific title | |
| Study objectives | The aim of this investigation is to establish whether showing patients images of their own atherosclerotic arteries will motivate change in the patient's thoughts regarding their smoking habits. Do patients feel more motivated to stop smoking when they are visually confronted with the concrete damage that their smoking has incurred? |
