The identification of determinants of attempts to quit smoking and quitting smoking success is crucial for effective smoking prevention and/or cessation programs. Thus, here we have conducted a survey to determine the sociodemographic characteristics of tobacco use and the potential determinants of quitting smoking among a population of 140 subjects-101 smokers and 39 ex-smokers-referred to our clinic for respiratory diseases. Subject characteristics included demographic data, employment and education status, respiratory disease family history, smoking habits, life habits, diet, alcohol intake, and physical activity. In comparison with former smokers, active smokers were younger, lived with at least one smoking family member, and were more frequently exposed to passive smoke. They also displayed a higher coffee consumption, a higher frequency of in-between-meal snacks, and a lower chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) prevalence. In comparison with subjects who had never attempted to quit smoking, individuals who had attempted to quit smoking were younger, had a lower pack-year median, consumed a higher amount of coffee and alcohol, and conducted regular physical activity. Determinants of successful smoking cessation were older age, lower passive smoking exposure and daily coffee intake, and COPD diagnosis. Overall, our findings underscore the importance of health education in fostering successful smoking cessation in respiratory disease patients.
确定尝试戒烟和戒烟成功的决定因素对于有效的戒烟预防和/或戒烟计划至关重要。因此，我们进行了一项调查，以确定 140 名患者的社会人口统计学特征，这些患者因呼吸系统疾病就诊于我们的诊所，其中包括 101 名吸烟者和 39 名曾经吸烟者。患者特征包括人口统计学数据、就业和教育状况、呼吸系统疾病家族史、吸烟习惯、生活习惯、饮食、酒精摄入和身体活动。与曾经吸烟者相比，活跃吸烟者更年轻，与至少一位吸烟家庭成员同住，并且更容易接触到二手烟。他们还显示出更高的咖啡摄入量、更频繁的零食摄入以及更低的慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患病率。与从未尝试过戒烟的患者相比，尝试过戒烟的患者更年轻，吸烟量更少，咖啡和酒精摄入量更高，并且定期进行身体活动。成功戒烟的决定因素是年龄较大、被动吸烟暴露和每日咖啡摄入量较低以及 COPD 诊断。总的来说，我们的研究结果强调了在呼吸系统疾病患者中进行健康教育以促进成功戒烟的重要性。
