Cytisine: Cytisine administration will be randomized 1:1 in standard (40 days)and prolonged treatment (84 days). Subjects will be educated on how to take the product and informed about possible adverse effects.

Acetylsalicylic acid: The treatment will consist of Acetylsalicylic acid at 100mg once a day

Diet Modification and Physical Activity Increase: It will be proposed: 1. an optimal diet with the aim of favoring control of weight, abdominal fat and adequate nutritional status without increasing the levels of IGF-I and inflammatory factors or glycemic peaks, with periodic verification of the results 2. a regular and sustainable physical activity program with periodic verification of the results.

early lung cancer detection: standard treatment for early lung cancer detection with ultra low dose CT

spirometry with CO test: spirometry with CO test

anthropometic data collection: anthropometic data collection

blood test: blood test to assess the metabolic and inflammatory profile

Study summary

This prospective randomized pilot trial will evaluate a multiple intervention program of prevention in lifelong smokers aiming at reduction of chronic inflammation status through treatment with low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), smoking cessation with cytisine, targeted modification of diet and physical activity, in addition to early diagnosis with annual ultra low-dose spiral computed tomography (LDCT).
