We estimated the additional cost to the NHS over a 5-year time horizon. Costs included those for training of staff, investment in equipment and consumables and changes in workload, and were costed using routine sources. Costs are presented as an average for the participating trusts and are reported in UK pounds sterling (£) for 2013. Data on the mean number of pregnancies and the number of additional quitters per trust were calculated by combining data on the average quit rate per trust before implementation, combined with the estimated adjusted OR (aOR) for quitting after implementation and data on smoking prevalence in the entire cohort. These data were combined with costs to produce the incremental cost, and numbers needed to treat, per additional quit (appendix 3).
