Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors of smoking cessation failure in adult smokers.
MethodsTotally 1 012 male smokers(≥25 years old)selected from 5 communities in Mianyang city,Sichuan province were investigated with a questionnaire on smoking behaviors,attitudes of social smoking and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire(EPQ).The severity of nicotine dependence(ND)was assessed using Fagerström Test of Nicotine Dependence FTND).
ResultsThe age of smokers(
t=4.9,
P=0.000),extroversion trait(
t=-2.850,
P=0.005),FTND score(
t=-4.962,
P=0.000), smoking quit times(
t=-4.252,
P=0.000),and attitudes and behaviors of social smoking(
P<0.05)in successful smoking cessation group were significant different from those of failed smoking cessation group.The results of multivariate logistic regression analyses indicated that age(
β=-0.131,odds ratio
OR=0.877),years of smoking(
β=0.086,
OR= 1.090),FTND score(
β=0.144,
OR=1.115),craving of cigarettes(
β=-1.906,
OR=0.149),black mood during smoking cessation period(
β=1.392,
OR=3.652),and behaviors of social smoking(
β=4.261,
OR=70.850)were risk factors for smoking cessation(
P<0.05).
ConclusionExtroversion trait,severe nicotine dependence,peer influence,and negative emotions may be the risk factors for smoking cessation failure among adult smoders.
