“…More specifically, they talk about more conscious thought (n = 8), something that has to do with awareness, which accord- (Gemmell & Di Clemente, 2009), and also with commitment and the way it affects the cessation process (Glanz, Rimer, & Lewis, 2002;Kovač et al, 2009;Locke & Latham, 1990;Musich, Chapman, & Ozminkowski, 2009). Yet, they talk about an increase in positive thinking (n = 2) concerning the health benefits associated with discontinuation and adopting a more negative thinking against smoking and the consequences (n = 2), findings that have also been reported in other studies (Alpert, 2009;Curry et al, 1997;Schane et al, 2013;Theodorakis, 2010). It seems that the participants carried out, through the intervention, significant changes in their decisional balance regarding smoking behavior.…”

“…It is considered important for a smoking cessation program to include information about the consequences of tobacco on health, and also about the social influences of smoking (Alpert, 2009). Besides, it seems that health concerns affect and increase preparedness to quit (Curry, Grothaus, & McBride, 1997) and education of smokers, within the counselling framework, about the effects of passive smoking may have a positive contribution to the smoking cessation process (Schane et al, 2013).…”

“…Smokers do not seem to worry about the effects that smoking has on their health but they are worried about the consequences smoking has on others (passive smoking, Schane, Prochaska, & Glantz, 2013). The way the information is provided seems to be important and Motivational Interviewing appeared to be more effective than simple direct cessation advices (Gemmell & DiClemente, 2009).…”

This study investigated if and how an individual counselling program, based on motivational interviewing, affects lifestyle changes that contribute to smoking cessation and physical activity enhancement. The participants were 2 men and 6 women aged 25 -54 years. The program consisted of 12 individual weekly counselling sessions based on motivational interviewing. There was a 9 month follow up (monthly sessions, weekly telephone calls). A semi-structured interview was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the program after the intervention. Qualitative content analysis was used, along with the In Vivo Software in organizing the data from the interview. At the end of the follow up, three participants stopped smoking, four participants turned to light smokers (<10 cigarettes per day) and only one person failed to change smoking behavior. The participants reported that the discussion and communication with the advisor were very helpful, such as the support, the commitment, the resistance and the goal setting techniques. The gains that the participants experienced were a general life-style change, smoking cessation or smoking reduction, motivation, sensitization, self-esteem, self-knowledge, safeness, stress reduction, relaxation and better physical condition. It seems that motivational interviewing greatly contributes to helping adults to quit or reduce smoking and adopt a healthier lifestyle.

“…In this study, exposure to smoke indoors was low; reflecting home smoking rules and national policy, but high proportions of both smokers and non-smokers reported being affected by smoking outside campus buildings. Second-hand smoke as a key health promotion message has resulted in increased quitting in some non-daily smokers [34].…”

Knowledge of student smoking behaviors and attitudes was sought to inform a proposal to implement a smoke-free university campus. This study assessed prevalence of student smoking and quitting behaviors and associated demographic, contextual and attitudinal factors. A cross-sectional design using a convenience sample on a single university site was utilized. Data were collected by anonymous self-administered questionnaires and analyzed using bivariate and multivariable logistic models comparing smokers and non-smokers (Model 1) and daily with occasional smokers Model 2. Of 739 respondents, 19% of students smoked; 12% occasional (non-daily) and 7% daily smokers. Smokers were more likely to be ≥22 years and to allow smoking inside their accommodation (Model 1). They were less likely to agree that tobacco was addictive and to consider those who smoked at parties and weekends to be regular smokers. In Model 2, daily smokers were older and nine times more likely to report increased difficulty in handling stress if they quit smoking. Forty-four percent of all smokers had attempted to quit in the past year, 35% of smokers intended to quit in the next 30 days and 53% in the next six months. Forty percent did not use quitting supports. Occasional rather than daily smoking was more prevalent in university students. Smokers differed from non-smokers in their perception of smoking-related health risks. Increasing age was the best predictor of regular and occasional smoking. Intentions to quit smoking and quit attempts were high among all smokers although use of on-site cessation supports was less than the optimal. These combined factors indicate a need for better targeting of our prevention strategies and the need to promote greater awareness of cessation supports for successful implementation of a smoke-free campus.

“…To date, only two small pilot studies have examined treatment of NDS [18, 19]. The current study is one of three ongoing federally-funded (NIH, PCORI) smoking cessation randomized clinical trials (RCT) examining effective treatments for NDS and the only RCT focused exclusively on racial/ethnic minority NDS.…”

BACKGROUND: Non-daily smokers (NDS) who smoke on some but not all days are a growing subset of United States (US) tobacco users. Racial/ethnic minorities are more likely to be NDS. African American NDS have strikingly high levels of nicotine and carcinogen exposure, making treatment of this high risk group a priority. METHODS: The current study is one of three ongoing federally-funded clinical trials of NDS and, to our knowledge the only RCT focused on racial/ethnic minority NDS. The design has been guided by input from Patient and Stakeholder Advisory Panels who helped develop the research questions, design the intervention, and select the outcomes. The objective is to compare the effectiveness of smoking cessation counseling alone (C) or smoking cessation counseling plus participant’s choice of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT; C+NRT) for African American NDS. Two-hundred seventy-eight African American NDS will be randomized in a 2:1 fashion to C+NRT or C. All participants receive five sessions of smoking cessation counseling; those randomized to C+NRT receive their choice of nicotine gum, patch, and/or lozenge. Treatment in both groups lasts for 12 weeks. We hypothesize that C+NRT will be more effective than C on the primary outcome of biochemically-confirmed abstinence from smoking at week 12. Secondary aims will compare C+NRT and C on patient- and provider-desired outcomes including abstinence from smoking at week 26, change in biochemically-verified nicotine and carcinogen exposure, days abstinent, and treatment process measures (e.g., NRT use and side effects). Predictors of abstinence will also be explored. DISCUSSION: Findings will illuminate effective treatment options for African American NDS and contribute to development of evidence-based guidelines for treating the 8.9 million US adult NDS for whom no guidelines currently exist.
