Smoking cigarettes is a risk factor for many physical and mental diseases. About five million people die of smoking every year. Understanding the concept of cigarette smoking can help people develop their knowledge with regard to smoking. A qualitative research seems essential to detect these concepts. Therefore, the present study aims to take into account the experience of adult smokers with regard to the concept of smoking.
This is a qualitative content analysis study conducted on 12 smokers in four selected cities in Iran. Data were collected by in-depth, semi-structured interviews, transcribed verbatim, and simultaneously coded. Subsequently, they were analyzed using the content analysis method.
In the present study, eight concepts (themes), 22 subcategories, and 81 codes have emerged. The obtained concepts are physics of a cigarette, addiction and dependency, habit, feel the need, pleasure, seeking peace, mental involvement, and self-induction.
The participants' experiences with regard to cigarette smoking can affect their understanding of the concepts of smoking. The understanding of these concepts by nurses and smokers can enhance their knowledge about the existing facts of smoking, which can act as a foundation for designing preventive methods and smoking cessation programs.
吸烟是许多身心疾病的危险因素。每年约有五百万人死于吸烟。了解吸烟的概念有助于人们增进对吸烟的认识。一项定性研究对于发现这些概念似乎至关重要。因此，本研究旨在考虑成年吸烟者对吸烟概念的体验。
这是一项对伊朗四个选定城市的12名吸烟者进行的定性内容分析研究。通过深入的半结构化访谈收集数据，逐字转录并同时编码。随后，使用内容分析法进行分析。
在本研究中，出现了八个概念（主题）、22个子类别和81个编码。获得的概念有香烟的物理特性、成瘾与依赖、习惯、感觉有必要、愉悦、寻求平静、精神参与和自我诱导。
参与者对吸烟的体验会影响他们对吸烟概念的理解。护士和吸烟者对这些概念的理解可以增强他们对吸烟现有事实的认识，这可为设计预防方法和戒烟计划奠定基础。
