The Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) in 2011 indicated that despite the intention of tobacco user to cease smoking, only a few people that succeed to stop the smoking habit. This research aimed to investigate correlation between smoking bans at home and smoking cessation. The GATS design was a cross-sectional study. Resident ≥ 15 y.o as the target population and as much as 8.305 respondents were recruited by stratified multistage cluster sampling (4 stages) and only 1.376 respondent who had tried to quit smoking were chosen as the sample and being analyzed. The dependent variable was the achievement of smoking cessation. The descriptive statistic was reported in weighted proportions. Logistic regression analysis and adjustment for confounders were applicated. Smoking bans at home increased the odds of smoking cessation achievement by 200 % (OR: 2,0; 95%CI 1,1-3,4) compared to the inexistence of such rule at home. As a conclusion, smoking bans at home was able to increase the smoking cessation achievement in the stop smoking program.

For improving accomplished attempts to stop smoking, it is necessary to learn about the qualities of individuals who can willingly stop smoking. This study seeks to discover the willingness degree and associated determinants to stop smoking between adult visitors of a primary healthcare centre in an urban area of Alexandria in Egypt. In this single point and descriptive cross-sectional study, a semi-structured questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 53 adults aged ≥18 years in May 2019. Descriptive statistical analyses were conducted to evaluate the determinants influencing the willingness to stop smoking. Of the 53 respondents (with a mean age of 38.7 years old), 41.5% of them were males. Almost 18.9% of the respondents were ongoing smokers (36.4% of males and 6.5% of females), though 83.7% of those smokers were willing to stop smoking. The number of male smokers was significantly greater than female smokers (Pearson Chi-Square = 7.52, p-value = 0.006). Determinants, which can favourably influence the willingness to stop smoking, were believing that smoking is a health risk to them (100%) and the others around (94.3%). A bulk of participants (56.6%) doubted the need for nicotine supplements to help in smoking cessation. Smoker respondents were willing to stop smoking. Understanding that smoking is a health hazard for both smokers and the others around can motivate smoking cessation. Relying on nicotine supplements alone might not add favourably to a strong smoking cessation decision. Tailoring campaigns to raise awareness about smoking health hazards’ would support and sustain smoking cessation.

Introduction: Tobacco is a risk factor for many oral and systemic diseases and conditions. Many institutions recommend the use of clinical guidelines on smoking cessation to help people quit smoking. Yet, several studies also indicate that clinical guidelines are widely underutilized and study of this topic through a theoretical framework are scarce. The purpose of this study was to identify the underlying individual mechanisms which support dentists’ intention to adopt the Canadian smoking cessation clinical guidelines in Quebec, Canada.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on a sample of 59 dentists working in private practices between January and September 2016. The study was conducted using a validated and anonymous questionnaire based on a modified version of the Triandis’ Theory of Interpersonal Behaviour. The theoretical model was tested by multiple linear regression.Results: The adapted theoretical model explained 63% of variance in dentists’ intention to adopt these guidelines in their practices. The mains predictors of dentists’ intention were professional norm (β=0.85; p≤ 0.0001) and control beliefs (β=0.3; p= 0.01).Conclusions: Grounded in the theory, the results of this study give a first view of dentists’ individual determinants that could be targeted to develop successful ways of increasing the adoption of Canadian smoking cessation guidelines in dental settings. Further research is needed to confirm these results.

Tobacco-related diseases are the leading causes of death worldwide. Tobacco use must be reduced and controlled. Due to its low cost, internet intervention has a high probability of attracting a large number of smokers, however, more research is needed to determine its most effective use. The purpose of this study was to analyze the efficacy of online smoking cessation websites in Malaysia based on assessment by Kuantan smokers. A cross-sectional study using a mix method was conducted among smokers in Kuantan, Pahang. The evaluation is divided into two phases: phase I is the selection of a website by a content expert, and phase II is the review of a selected local website by a local respondent. Random purposive sampling among 35 smokers were recruited in phase 2. There were predetermined criteria in both phase. Website search was conducted thru identified keyword using search engine google. In phase 2, the selected good score website will be assessed by local smokers based on validated checklist. Three websites which were JomQuit.com, Nicorette.com and Quit Smoking Clinic IJN was selected for the review. The website JomQuit.com was identified as comprehensive anti-smoking website in Malaysia. The Malaysian online smoking cessation was believed to be helpful to quit smoking, provide interesting content and information, increase awareness and increase promotion. Regular website assessments must be performed on a regular basis to ensure that the information on the website is applicable to local communities and for content improvement purposes.

Abstract Introduction The Smoking Cessation Clinic (SCC) is one of the government's efforts to reduce the number of smokers. The SCC is expected to help people who want to quit smoking. This study aims to describe the awareness of smokers to quit smoking through the clinical consultation service to stop smoking in the city of Denpasar. Method: The design of this study was a cross-sectional study conducted at Puskesmas in the city of Denpasar for 3 months from July to November 2018. Samples were selected using consecutive sampling of 33 people. Data was collected using a structure questionnaire. Results: The results found the potensial utilization of SCC in Denpasar City Health Center was very high, as 25 respondents (75.8%) suggested that their families use the SCC. The opinion of the puskesmas visitors to teaching and learning activities was that most or 57.6% stated that the smoking cessation clinic was effective in making smokers quit smoking. In 2017 there were 177 people use SCC and those who managed until quite smoking are only 5 people. Discussion: The level of utilization of teaching and learning activities is still low because there are still many visitors in the Public Health Centers who are not aware of it. Most of diseases and health problems are related to smoking therefor collaboration SCC with others program are important. All health officers at others program should ask and recommend patient and the family to SCC if there any smokers.

183 Background: Exposure to SHS after a cancer diagnosis is associated with continued smoking in lung and HN cancer patients (PMID: 24419133, 23765604). However, smoking is a social activity. We evaluated whether elimination of SHS exposure around and after a diagnosis of lung or HN cancer is associated with smoking cessation in the cancer patient. Methods: Lung and HN cancer patients from Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (2006-12) completed questionnaires at diagnosis and follow-up (median 2 years apart) that assessed smoking history and SHS exposures (cohort study). Multivariate logistic regression analysis evaluated the association of elimination of SHS exposure after a diagnosis of cancer with subsequent smoking cessation, adjusted for significant covariates. A cross-sectional study (2014-15) of 183 lung and HN smoking patients assessed consistency in associations and interest in SHS cessation programs. Results: For the cohort study, 261/731 lung and 145/450 HN cancer patients smoked at diagnosis; subsequent quit rates were 69% and 50% respectively. 91% of lung and 94% of HN cancer patients were exposed to SHS at diagnosis while only 40% (lung) and 62% (HN) were exposed at follow-up. Elimination of SHS exposure was associated with smoking cessation in lung (aOR = 4.76, 95% CI [2.56-9.09], P< 0.001), HN (aOR = 5.00 [1.61-14.29], P< 0.001), and combined cancers (aOR = 5.00 [3.03-8.33], P< 0.001). The cross-sectional study has similar cessation and SHS exposure rates and a similar association for elimination of SHS with smoking cessation (aOR = 3.42 [1.16-10.10], P= 0.03). However when asked directly, only 26% of patients quit smoking with another individual and 13% of patients exposed to SHS had at least 1 interested party in joining a SHS cessation program. Conclusions: Elimination of SHS exposure around patients is significantly associated with smoking cessation in lung and HN cancer patients, but few patients quit smoking together with others around them, despite the ‘teachable moment’ with a cancer diagnosis. Clinicians should encourage patients and their household/friends to quit smoking together to improve cessation rates in cancer patients and those around them.

Abstract Smoking cessation aids in restoring lung function. However, whether long-term cessation can fully restore lung function has not been studied thoroughly, especially in Asian countries. This study aimed to evaluate the association between smoking cessation status and obstructive spirometry pattern among Koreans aged 40–79 years. In total, 6,298 men and 8,088 women aged 40–79 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2015–2019) were analyzed for smoking cessation status, including the duration after quitting. Current-smokers showed a higher likelihood of having an obstructive spirometry pattern than never-smokers among both men (odds ratio [OR]: 3.15, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.32–4.29) and women (OR: 2.60, 95% CI: 1.59–4.23). In men, the effect tended to decrease with longer duration after cessation, but male ex-smokers who had quit smoking ≥ 20 years ago still showed a higher likelihood of having an obstructive spirometry pattern than male never-smokers (OR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.05–1.89). In female ex-smokers, there was no significant association with the obstructive spirometry pattern, compared to that in female never-smokers. This study emphasizes the benefits of smoking cessation, possibility of long-lasting harm to lung function due to tobacco smoking, and importance of smoking prevention.

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to describe the profile of smokers hospitalized for surgery, and investigate their motivation to quit. The sample consisted of 100 patients recruited from a university hospital in southern Brazil. Data were collected between February and May 2013, and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The sample was predominantly male (n=58; 58%) and had a mean age of 54.5±13.8 years. Seventy-nine (79%) of the participants were white, 38(38%) were married and 67(67%) had primary education only. Patients started smoking at a mean age of 17±6.6 years, smoked approximately 20(10 to 28.7) cigarettes/day and had been smoking for a mean of 37.4±14.4 years. Ninety-one (91%) patients wanted to stop smoking, 57(57%) were in the preparation phase, 36(36%) had low nicotine dependence and 35(35%) had been encouraged to quit. We concluded that, although hospitalization is a good moment to address smoking cessation, health care professionals do not enact effective and systematic interventions in this regard.

Preschool age is a crucial period for social development. Social skills acquired during this period are the basis for future life’s success. This study aimed to investigate the level of social skills in preschool children at home and in preschool and to examine the association between children’s social skills and environmental and cultural backgrounds. A cross-sectional study using a multistage cluster sampling method was conducted on 546 children studying in the preschool centers of an urban area of Iran. Data were collected through demographic and social skill questionnaires from parents and teachers. Our findings showed that the social skills of girls were more than those of boys at home. Further, the majority of children had a moderate level of social skills from the parents’ and teachers’ perspectives. There was a modest parent–teacher agreement in most domains of social skills. Moreover, a statistically significant association was reported between children’s social skill domains and the child’s birth rank, father’s age, father’s job, teacher’s age, teacher’s education, teacher’s experience, and preschool classroom in terms of the numbers of children and the type of classroom. Accordingly, the risk of problems with social skills was reported to be relatively low. Therefore, more attention should be given to the family status and the teacher’s and preschool center’s characteristics to improve social skills in children.

Abstract Background: Limited research has explored sex differences in the relationship between partner behavior and attitudes and smoking cessation. Methods: The study examined sex partner attitudes about smoking among men and women who are currently trying to quit smoking cigarettes. Data were collected as part of the Tobacco Use in Drug Environment (TIDE) study, a cross-sectional study conducted in Baltimore, MD, USA from September 2013-May 2015. Interviews were administered with current smokers. The sample size for the current analysis was 134 men and 86 women. Results: Approximately thirty-three percent of male participants (n=45) reported currently trying to quit smoking cigarettes. Twenty-nine percent of women were currently trying to quit. Having a sex partner who did not mind the participant’s smoking was associated with decreased odds of trying to quit among men (AOR=0.35, p=0.03, 95% CI: 0.13, 0.91). Having a sex partner who expressed concern about the participant’s smoking (AOR=12.9, p<0.01, 95% CI: 3.49, 47.0) and having a sex partner who encouraged the participant to quit smoking was significantly associated current quit attempt. Conclusions: The relationship between partner support for cessation and current quit attempt was stronger for women than men in this population. Understanding sex-partner attitudes regarding smoking and their relationship to smoking cessation activities may provide insights for future tailored cessation interventions.
