Smoking is the most important modifiable risk factor for coronary heart disease and its reduction is a target for primary health care. 1 The participants in most studies of the smoking habits of patients with coronary heart disease are enrolled after acute cardiac events. 2 There are few documented studies of the changes in the smoking habits of patients with angina. This study examined variations in self reported smoking habits over a five year period in a primary care cohort of patients diagnosed as having angina.
