Background We present the final results of the effect of lung cancer screening with low-dose CT on the smoking habits of participants in a 5-year screening trial.Methods The Danish Lung Cancer Screening Trial (DLCST) was a 5-year screening trial that enrolled 4104 subjects; 2052 were randomised to annual low-dose CT (CT group) and 2052 received no intervention (control group). Participants were current and ex-smokers (>= 4 weeks abstinence from smoking) with a tobacco consumption of >= 20 pack years. Smoking habits were determined annually. Missing values for smoking status at the final screening round were handled using two different models.Results There were no statistically significant differences in annual smoking status between the CT group and control group. Overall the ex-smoker rates (CT + control group) significantly increased from 24% (baseline) to 37% at year 5 of screening (p
