Smoking Behavior and Psychological Status Related to Successful Smoking Cessation in Heavy Smokers

Objectives ： The purpose of this study was to determine the factors affecting smoking cessation rate of heavy smokers. Methods ： Typically, 81 participants enrolled in the smoking cessation camp at Chungbuk National University Hospital from April 2016 to November 2016 were included in the present study. The psychological factors related to group classification and the factors related to the success of smoking cessation were analyzed. Results ： After 24 weeks of leaving the camp, 57 out of 81 participants successfully quit smoking and 24 failed in doing so. In the successful group, depression scale, stress scale, and various smoking-related factors exhibited intercorrelation and in the failure group, no significant correlation was observed. However, a comparison of correlation coefficients showed no significant difference. In addition, smoking cessation success rate was low when exhaled CO concentration was high at the time of admission when the smoking initiation age was juvenile, and when the smoking type was A (stimulus seeking type). Conclusion : Exhaled CO concentration at the time of admission, smoking initiation age, and smoking type A (stimulus seeking type) were associated with smoking cessation success.
