“…Monso et al (14) suggested that age and gender are effective factors in smoking cessation. Fernandez et al (18), on the other hand, reported that smoking cessation increases with age independent of gender. Besides the studies reporting that men can more easily quit smoking, there are studies emphasising that age and gender have no effect on smoking cessation (9,10,12,19).…”

Objective: The aim was to investigate the factors affecting the quitting smoking success of the patients followed in the smoking cessation outpatient clinic and the rate of quitting smoking in this clinic. Methods:From the 320 cases who applied to the smoking cessation clinic, 241 cases with a 12 month follow-up completed between June 2011 and June 2012 were included in the study. Routine biochemical and hematological tests, respiratory function test, electrocardiography, and posteroanterior chest radiography were requested from the cases. Moreover, the cases were requested to complete the Fagerstrom nicotine dependence test, anxiety and depression assessment scale and the outpatient clinic's form, including demographic data. The medicines taken and the duration of use were recorded. The quitting smoking success of the patients and the factors affecting this success were evaluated.Results: Generally, at the end of the first year, the rate of quitting smoking was 37.3%. The demographic characteristics of the groups who quit smoking and who failed to quit smoking were similar. Fagerstrom dependence degree (p<0.001) and the number of cigarettes smoked at the workplace (p<0.001) were higher. The individuals included in the group who quit smoking put on more weight. Overall, 27.4% of the patients received behavioural education (BE), 56% of them received behavioural education and nicotine replacement therapy (BE+NRT), 9.5% of them received BE+Bupropion, 2.5% of them received BE+Varenicline, and 4.6% of them received BE+Bupropion+NRT treatments. The rates of quitting smoking were 15.2%, 43.7%, 52.2%, 66.7% and 45.5%, respectively. With the administration of pharmacological treatment for a sufficient time, the rates of quitting smoking rose meaningfully (p<0.001). Conclusion:Quitting smoking is a difficult process that has to be evaluated individually for every case. In this process, the administration of sufficient behavioural education and pharmacological treatment with sufficient time for appropriate individuals will increase the success rate.

“…The analysis was restricted to individuals aged 25 and above because they might still be engaged in the process of smoking uptake [34]. Moreover, subjects under 25 might not have completed the maximum level of education [35]. In addition, continuous abstinence for twelve months or longer was assessed by self-reporting and not validated.…”

Introduction. Cessation of tobacco use has the potential to provide the greatest immediate benefits for tobacco control. Understanding the social determinants of smoking cessation is an essential requirement for increasing smoking cessation at the population level. The purpose of this study was to analyze the socio-economic dimensions associated with cessation success among adults in Argentina and Uruguay. Materials and methods. Data from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS), a cross-sectional, population-based, nationally representative survey conducted in Argentina (n=5,383) and Uruguay (n=4,833) was utilized. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses with results being presented as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals were applied to study differences among those respondents who sustained smoking abstinence (≥1 year) and those who continued smoking. Results. The GATS study revealed that social gradients in tobacco quitting exist in Argentina and Uruguay. Being aged 25-34, particularly men in Uruguay, women in Argentina, low educated men in Argentina and having a lower asset index were associated with reduced odds for quitting. Conclusion. Factors that are driving differences in smoking cessation between diverse social groups in Latin America countries need to be considered when implementing relevant interventions to ensure tobacco control strategies work effectively for all population segments.

“…This would mean that the observed results are due not only to birth cohort, but also to higher exposure of older smokers to smoking-related disease and therefore higher smoking-related mortality. Similarly, individuals with a higher level of education are more likely than those with lower levels to cease smoking (Fernandez et al 2001;Rose et al 1996;Wagenknecht et al 1990;Wray et al 1998) and therefore are likely to have a lower risk of mortality. Though "mortality selection" may partly explain decreasing smoking prevalence at older ages, it cannot explain the decreasing prevalence at younger ages or the widening of the gap between lower and higher formal education, which is in line with assumptions of the Rogers theory.…”

“…Many studies in established market economies have found differences in prevalence across SES groups (Regidor et al 2001;Helmert et al 2001): People of lower SES are more likely to be smokers and less successful in cessation attempts (Barbeau et al 2004). Individuals with higher formal education tend more often than others to stop smoking (Fernandez et al 2001;Rose et al 1996;Wagenknecht et al 1990;Wray et al 1998). Nevertheless, even established market economies show differences in smoking.…”
