Objctives: Sleep quality related factors may affect compliance of tobacco smokers to a cessation program. This study was designed to assess sleep quality among individuals who were at least 1 year smoking free versus individuals who failed to quit smoking.
Materials and Metods: In total, 682 individuals (M/F, 67/39) who were on a smoking cessation program between March 2004 and February 2011 were examined for suitability and invited by phone call for this cross-sectional study.

Results: Based on PSQI scores, the rate of good sleepers was 23.8% in quitters and 7.8% in smokers (p
