Motivation To Quit Smoking

Abstract People with mobility impairments (MIs; use assistive devices to ambulate) have twice the smoking prevalence versus the general population. A Facebook intervention could improve reach to smokers with MIs, but use and patterns of use are unknown. The study examined: (a) Facebook use and relationship with Facebook-based social support and (b) whether Facebook use differs by motivation to quit smoking. Participants (N = 510; 56.3% female, mean age = 42.4 years) were recruited via a recruitment company to complete a one-time online survey assessing motivation to quit within 30 days, Facebook use (Facebook Activities Scale), reasons for use (Facebook Motives Scale), attitudes (Facebook Intensity Scale), and social support (Facebook Measure of Social Support). The vast majority said that Facebook is part of their daily routine (92.9%), 83% checked Facebook >once a day, and 69% spent >30 min/day on Facebook. Facebook was used to connect with similar others (68.4%), participate in groups (72.9%), decrease loneliness (69.2%), and obtain health information (62.5%); 88% said that they would join a Facebook program to help them quit smoking. A greater number of Facebook friends (rs = .18–.22, p < .001) and greater Facebook use (rs = .20 to rs = .59; p < .001) were correlated with greater perceived social and emotional support. Those motivated to quit posted more frequently (odds ratio [OR] = 1.56, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.10, 2.22) and were more likely to indicate that they would join a Facebook group for smoking cessation (OR = 4.15, 95% CI = 2.05, 8.38) than those not motivated. Facebook could circumvent disability and environmental barriers to accessing cessation among this health disparity population.

Motivation To Quit Smoking

What is the relationship between trying, desire, and desiring to try? Is it necessary to desire to do something in order to try to do it? Must Dave desire to quit smoking in order to try to quit? I shall defend the view that desiring to do A is necessary for trying to do A. First, Dave needs motivation to quit smoking and motivation comes in the form of desire. So it seems straightforward that when one tries to do something A, one’s desire to do that thing A is one’s motivation. Second, when Dave throws out a pack of cigarettes, this may or may not be part of an attempt to quit smoking. It may be a political protest against R.J.R. Nabisco (Dave may be changing brands, not lifestyles). Dave’s throwing out the cigarettes only counts as part of his attempt to quit smoking, if it is done for the right reason, out of the right motivation. Again, the right motivation seems to be the desire to quit smoking. Thus, the desire to do A appears to play important roles in the attempt to do A. At the very least, it helps to motivate, guide, and constitute the attempt as the attempt to do A. It is because Dave wants to quit smoking that his throwing out his cigarettes counts as part of his attempt to quit smoking, not as a political protest.

Motivation To Quit Smoking

AbstractTo study beliefs about smoking and COPD, and motivation for smoking discontinuation we recruited 100 COPD patients during admission for exacerbation. They were asked about motivation to quit smoking and about disease understanding. We compared their survival with that of 324 COPD patients and with survival of age-matched Danes. Forty-five smokers, 50 ex-smokers and five never-smokers were included. Mean value of age was 77.5 years, number of years smoking was 51.8, and FEV1 was 0.79 L. Most patients were not certain about the association between smoking and COPD. Only 16% thought that their smoking had caused COPD and 24% thought that they would not suffer from COPD, had they not smoked. Three out of the six motivation questions could be included in a mutual quantitative scale (alpha = 0.76). Thirty per cent (r = 0.55, p = .005) of the variation in the motivation scale score was explained by number of years with smoking (negative association), number of cigarettes smoked per day (positive association) and BMI (negative association). Mortality was lower than in the reference population (RR = 0.63, p = .005), but higher than in age-matched Danes. Many patients are not certain about the association between smoking and COPD. We developed a smoking cessation motivation scale based on three questions.
