| description | Introduction
We examined the relationship between preferred daily smoking
times and typical situations in which smoking occurs and aimed to determine
the association between successful smoking cessation and preferred smoking
time.
Methods
We conducted an internet survey and categorized participants based on
their selected smoking status: ‘successful smoking cessation’, ‘failed smoking
cessation’, or ‘currently smoking’. Ultimately, 3637 people (1854 men, 1789
women) aged 30–59 years were included in the study. Participants also described
the time points at which smoking seemed to be the most appealing and those at
which smoking seemed the most difficult to resist.
Results
Regarding times of tobacco cravings, the number of non-smokers for more
than 1 year who chose ‘after dinner’ was significantly higher than the number who
chose ‘after breakfast’ or ‘after waking up’. Regarding the time when smoking was
the most difficult to resist, the proportion of people who chose ‘after dinner’ that
had quit smoking for less than 3 months was significantly low.
Conclusions
Those who prefer smoking ‘after dinner’ are less likely to start smoking
cessation, but when they do, the rate of continuation for more than 1 year is high.
We suggest that smoking cessation support based on preferred smoking times
may lead to a decrease in the smoking rate. |
