Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop effective interventions that assist individuals with high blood pressure to quit smoking and prevent weight gain.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Smoke at least 5 cigarettes/day (or have quit within the last 6 weeks to enter the study for the weight gain prevention and BP control interventions)
  • Pre-hypertensive or Stage I hypertension (systolic BP from 120 to 159 and/or diastolic BP from 80 to 99 mm Hg). Antihypertensive medications are not criteria for exclusion provided that BP is not over 160/100 mm Hg)
  • Access to a telephone

Exclusion Criteria

  • History of unstable cardiovascular disease, including myocardial infarction, stroke, and unstable angina within three months of study start
  • Coronary artery bypass grafting or angioplasty/stent within three months of study start
  • Cardiac dysrhythmia treated with anti-arrhythmia medication, except stable atrial fibrillation
  • Untreated hyperthyroidism or pheochromocytoma
  • History of congestive heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV)
  • ECG evidence of 2nd or 3rd degree atrioventricular block
  • Uncontrolled or Stage II Hypertension as defined as BP consistently above 160/100 mm Hg
  • History of severe liver or kidney failure
  • Current substance abuse (includes alcohol use in excess of 21 drinks a week)
  • Presence of an unstable psychiatric condition
  • Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • Symptomatic peripheral vascular disease
  • Pulmonary hypertension with shortness of breath
  • Congenital or valvular heart disease with shortness of breath
  • Current use of a medication that may interfere with primary study endpoints or that may increase the risk of side effects from study medication that cannot be discontinued
  • Pregnant or plans to become pregnant within the next year
  • Planning to move out of the area or travel extensively during the intervention
  • Any medical condition that would preclude any additional changes in diet
  • Unable to further modify physical activity routine
  • Cannot engage in moderate intensity exercise (e.g., walking)
