Results:

registers are more than 200. The one-month continuous quitting rate was 19.11%
and three-month continuous quitting rate was 8.16%.

qualitative interviews study constructed a three-level evaluation index system
of the smoking cessation clinic which is built on indicators of support, implement,
and outcome. Then the system was revised by Delphi method. It contained three
indicators of first-level, twenty-two indicators of second level and twenty-six
indicators of third-level, then the weighting of each index is calculated. The
experts participated in conducting this study had high activity and authority
in their aspects. The indicators score of support, implement, and outcome are
0.86, 0.87 and 0.84 respectively. And all of them are higher than 0.80. The evaluation
