A group of out-patients of a physician's office, all with chronic obstructive disease, were surveyed in a structured manner to assess attitudes and perception of social and environmental influences on smoking cessation. Half the patients were current smokers, and half were ex-smokers. The decision to attempt to quit smoking was based primarily on general health consequences in both successful quitters and ongoing smokers. The physician who made firm, persistent efforts to assist the smoking patient was viewed as the most important and credible source of information and effective advice concerning smoking cessation. Firm continuing pressure, first from the doctor and secondly from the family and friends, was recognized as the most powerful stimulus. The media and public announcements played very small roles as sources of information and advice. The cost of cigarettes was seldom listed as an important consideration. Smokers were rarely successful in their first attempt to quit, but persistence resulted in success. Reasons for final success could not be identified.
对某医生诊所的一组患有慢性阻塞性疾病的门诊患者进行了结构化调查，以评估他们对戒烟的社会和环境影响的态度及认知。一半患者为当前吸烟者，另一半为曾经吸烟者。试图戒烟的决定主要基于成功戒烟者和仍在吸烟者对总体健康后果的考量。坚决、持续努力帮助吸烟患者的医生被视为关于戒烟的最重要且可信的信息和有效建议来源。首先来自医生、其次来自家人和朋友的坚定持续压力被认为是最有力的刺激因素。媒体和公共公告作为信息和建议来源所起的作用非常小。香烟成本很少被列为重要考虑因素。吸烟者首次戒烟很少成功，但坚持不懈会带来成功。最终成功的原因无法确定。
