Smoking is related to many diseases, and the relapse to smoking after cessation in China is noticeable. We examined the attitudes of Chinese male smokers regarding smoking cessation and reasons for relapse.
We interviewed 201 male smokers in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang province, China who had tried to quit smoking at least once in order to identify reasons for quitting and situations triggering relapse.
The most significant reported reasons for quitting included personal health (77.1%), the cost of cigarettes (53.7%), and family pressures to quit (29.9%). The most common factors triggering relapse were social situations (34.3%), feeling negative or down (13.4%) and times of being alone (8.4%).
Health and family concerns, personal factors, the influence of others and a lack of cessation resources were cited as salient factors concerning smoking cessation among male smokers in this study. Effective smoking control efforts in China will require attention to these influences if China is to curb its current smoking epidemic.
吸烟与多种疾病相关,在中国,戒烟后复吸的情况较为显著。我们调查了中国男性吸烟者对戒烟的态度以及复吸原因。
我们对中国浙江省杭州市201名曾至少尝试过一次戒烟的男性吸烟者进行了访谈,以确定其戒烟原因及引发复吸的情况。
报告的最重要的戒烟原因包括个人健康(77.1%)、香烟成本(53.7%)以及来自家庭的戒烟压力(29.9%)。引发复吸最常见的因素是社交场合(34.3%)、情绪消极或低落(13.4%)以及独处的时候(8.4%)。
本研究中,健康和家庭担忧、个人因素、他人影响以及缺乏戒烟资源被认为是男性吸烟者戒烟的显著因素。如果中国要遏制当前的吸烟流行趋势,有效的控烟措施需要关注这些影响因素。
