“…Common factors associated with smoking behavior include age (older age group), sex (male), professional title, unhealthy behavior (such as alcohol use or poor sleep), as well as poor job satisfaction and burnout 6 , 14 - 17 . On the other hand, several factors have been reported to be associated with smoking cessation success, including receiving and accepting a doctor’s recommendation to stop smoking, possessing a higher level of education, engaging in regular exercising, and benefiting from smoking prohibitions in public places 18 , 19 . Understanding this intricate interplay of factors is essential for developing effective strategies to address smoking behavior and enhance smoking cessation outcomes.…”

Background Although the tobacco epidemic is one of the greatest public health threats, the smoking cessation rate among Chinese adults is considerably lower. Personality information may indicate which treatments or interventions are more likely to be effective. China is the largest producer and consumer of tobacco worldwide. However, little is known about the association between smoking cessation and personality traits in China. Aim This study aimed to examine the association between successful smoking cessation and personality traits among Chinese adults. Methods This cross-sectional study used data from the 2018 China Family Panel Studies. Probit regression models were employed to analyze the association between successful smoking cessation and personality traits stratified by sex. Results Lower scores for neuroticism (Coef.=-0.055, p < 0.1), lower scores for extraversion (Coef.=-0.077, p < 0.05), and higher scores for openness to experience (Coef.=0.045, p < 0.1) predicted being a successful male quitter after adjusting for demographics. Moreover, lower scores for conscientiousness (Coef.=-0.150, p < 0.1) predicted being a successful female quitter after adjusting for demographics. Conclusion The empirical findings suggested that among Chinese men, lower levels of neuroticism, lower levels of extraversion, and higher levels of openness to experience were associated with a higher likelihood of smoking cessation. Moreover, lower levels of conscientiousness were associated with successful smoking cessation among Chinese women. These results showed that personality information should be included in smoking cessation interventions.

Aim: The harmful effects of smoking and its impact on respiratory functions and exercise capacity are well-recognized health concerns in the present day, demanding further investigation. This study aims to assess the association between smoking and respiratory functions and exercise capacity while exploring factors contributing to smoking addiction. Methods: A total of 893 volunteers (mean age: 27.24 years, range: 17-67) participated in this study, with 77% having a university education and 58% being female. Participants were categorized into active smokers, passive smokers, and non-smokers. Maximum Voluntary Breath-holding Time , 6-minute walk test distance, and 30-second chair stand test were used to assess respiratory functions and exercise capacity. Participants provided information about their smoking habits, which was analyzed and reported. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in Maximum Voluntary Breath-holding Time, 6-minute walk test distance, and 30-second chair stand test scores between the groups (p>0.05). However, all smokers exhibited psychological dependence on cigarettes, with 88% showing signs of physical dependence. Smoking initiation was significantly influenced by friends (64%). While 61% of active smokers acknowledged potential health issues associated with smoking, only 92% had not sought medical advice to quit smoking. Conclusion: This study did not demonstrate a conclusive effect of cigarette consumption on respiratory functions and exercise capacity. However, it revealed a strong association between smoking habits and social factors such as friendships. Additionally, most smokers exhibited psychological and physical dependence on cigarettes, emphasizing the need for further research and awareness campaigns to highlight the detrimental consequences of smoking.
