| description | Introduction
We examined if we could identify predictors for smoking cessation at six
months post cessation, among smokers enrolled in a large Norwegian populationbased
intervention study.
Methods
We followed 4333 (72.1% women) smokers who enrolled in an internetbased
smoking cessation intervention during 2010–2012. The baseline questionnaire
collected information on sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, including current
snus use. The cessation outcome was self-reported no smoking past seven days, at
six months. We used logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (ORs) with 95%
confidence intervals, to identify predictors of smoking cessation, adjusting for
potential confounders.
Results
Women (OR=1.30; 95% CI: 1.01–1.69) compared with men, and those with
medium (OR=1.31; 95% CI: 1.02–1.68) and longer (OR=1.42; 95% CI: 1.06–1.90)
education compared with those with shorter education, were more likely to be
successful quitters.
Overall, being a student (OR=0.56; 95% CI: 0.37–0.85) compared with having fulltime
work, and a moderate to high Fagerström test for nicotine dependence (FTND)
score (OR=0.69; 95% CI: 0.55–0.87) compared with a low score, were predictors for
unsuccessful cessation. Current snus use was a predictor for unsuccessful cessation
compared to no snus use for both men (OR=0.49; 95% CI: 0.28–0.88) and women
(OR=0.49; 95% CI: 0.32–0.75).
Conclusions
Our study identifies female sex and longer education as predictors for
successful smoking cessation, while a medium or high FTND score, being a student,
and current snus use, were predictors for unsuccessful smoking cessation. Only
current snus use was a predictor for unsuccessful cessation for both sexes. Our
results indicate that smokers should be warned that snus use may prevent successful
smoking cessation. |
