Identifying contexts and mechanisms in multiple behavior change interventions affecting smoking cessation success: a rapid realist review.

Background

Smoking continues to be a leading cause of preventable chronic disease-related morbidity and mortality, excess healthcare expenditure, and lost work productivity.
