“…The probability of intention to quit tobacco use of women who have tried to quit tobacco use in the last year was more than that of those who have not. Consistent with our results, there are also similar studies in the literature (Feng et al, 2010;Park, 2014;Wang and Mati, 2019). This can be considered as evidence that an attempt to quit smoking is a preliminary step in smoking cessation practice.…”

Objectives: Tobacco use is an important public health problem that affects adversely the quality of life. A person's attitude toward quitting tobacco use can be reflected by the desire or intention to quit smoking. The aim of this study was to determine risk factors affecting women's intention to quit tobacco in Turkey. Methods: In this study, the data obtained from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) were used. The GATS is a standard method used in countries to monitor and evaluate the frequency of tobacco use in adults and tobacco control practices. The data used in the study was obtained from the GATS carried out in Turkey in 2008 and 2012. The data related to 1248 women smoking tobacco were used in the analysis. The relationship between women's intention to quit tobacco use and socio-demographic and economic variables was examined. Results: Men were excluded from the analysis because the focus of the study was women. It was determined that 732 of 1248 women using tobacco intend to quit smoking tobacco. 40.4% of women smoking tobacco are primary school graduates. Women, who were aware of anti-smoking messages and exposed to stimulants that promote smoking, were 36.4% and 27% more likely to intend to stop tobacco use after the next month, respectively. It was observed that women living in a house, where smoking is allowed, are less likely to quit smoking than others (ME =-0.522). This shows the importance of domestic restrictions. Conclusion: Intending to quit is an important preliminary step to quit. Understanding the factors associated with the intention to quit smoking can help tobacco users to stop using it and shape effective policies to increase the quit rates.

“…In order to increase the rate of smoking cessation of women smokers, research on women smokers should be given priority. It is important to identify socio-demographic characteristics known to be associated with smoking and smoking behavior, and to describe smoking-related behaviors and smoking cessation behaviors (Park, 2014).…”

“…Such results were similar to those of previous studies that quit smoking rate is lower in females than in males [ 18 ] and that strategies to promote the intention to quit smoking are required as 47.8% of female smokers have no intention to quit [ 19 ]. The results are also consistent with the outcome of Ahn [ 20 ]’s research that the likelihood of quit attempts decreased with age.…”

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine whether the regional density of tobacco outlets in Korea was associated with the likelihood of attempting to quit among smokers METHODS This study was designed as a secondary data analysis of a cross-sectional study. Data from the 2015 Korean Community Health Survey and tobacco outlet registrations in 17 metropolitan cities and provinces with 254 communities in Korea were used for the analysis. In total, 41,013 current smokers (≥19 years of age) were included. Multi-level logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate regional differences associated with smokers’ attempts to quit and to evaluate the effects of individual and regional characteristics on quit attempts. RESULTS Higher tobacco outlet density was associated with lower odds of attempting to quit. Smokers who resided in districts with the highest tobacco outlet density were 18% less likely to attempt quitting (odds ratio, 0.82; 95% confidence interval, 0.70 to 0.98) than smokers who resided in the regions with the lowest tobacco outlet density (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.030). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that quit attempts were related to community-level factors, such as tobacco outlet density, as well as other individual factors. These findings support the implementation of national policies restricting the number of tobacco outlets within communities or zones and limiting tobacco marketing in tobacco outlets.

“…Various countries have proposed policies that are suitable for each country’s characteristics, and cooperate with other countries to formulate effective smoking cessation policies [ 27 , 28 ]. In a previous study, adults exposed to a smoking cessation campaign had significantly higher smoking cessation intentions than those who did not [ 14 ], and in this study it was similar in that the smoking cessation intention was high when the awareness of the smoking cessation policy was high. Therefore, it is important to publicize the contents of the smoking cessation policy to raise awareness, as it is directly related to the promotion of smoking cessation intention.…”

“…In studies on intention to quit smoking conducted in Korea, older female adults were reported to have a lower intention to quit smoking than their male counterparts [ 13 ]. In another study of female smokers, the chance of intending to quit smoking was higher in those who made previous attempts to quit smoking, had a high health-related quality of life, and had experience with smoking cessation campaigns [ 14 ]. However, as the number of female smokers continues to rise with the increasing role of women in society, identifying the factors of the work environment that affect the intention to quit smoking among female smokers would be meaningful.…”

Although the smoking rate among women has been continuously increasing recently, it is very difficult to explore the actual situation because of negative social views. This study aimed to analyze the effects of smoking awareness and living environment on the intention to quit smoking among female smokers. After receiving approval from the Research Ethics Committee in September 2021, secondary data analysis was performed for this study. A total of 378 working women who smoked were included in this study. The mean age was 34.4 years. The results showed that women living alone had significantly lower intentions to quit smoking, and women with experience in smoking cessation education had significantly higher intentions to quit smoking. In addition, it was found that the group having awareness of smoking cessation policy and smoking cessation treatment had high intention to quit smoking. As a result of the analysis of decision trees using data mining techniques, the strongest predictor of the intention of female workers who smoke to quit smoking was their perception of smoking cessation policies. In addition, it was found that the state’s policy support was important in that the group with the highest intention to quit smoking was the one with high awareness of both the smoking cessation policy and smoking cessation treatment. Finally, the risk group with the lowest intention to quit smoking was the group with low awareness of the anti-smoking policy, living alone, and having low awareness of the harmfulness of cigarettes. The importance of establishing policies for this vulnerable group, smoking cessation policies and treatment of female smokers, and improving awareness of the harmful effects of tobacco are discussed.
