We examined the relationship between preferred daily smoking times and typical situations in which smoking occurs and aimed to determine the association between successful smoking cessation and preferred smoking time.
We conducted an internet survey and categorized participants based on their selected smoking status: 'successful smoking cessation', 'failed smoking cessation', or 'currently smoking'. Ultimately, 3637 people (1854 men, 1789 women) aged 30-59 years were included in the study. Participants also described the time points at which smoking seemed to be the most appealing and those at which smoking seemed the most difficult to resist.
Regarding times of tobacco cravings, the number of non-smokers for more than 1 year who chose 'after dinner' was significantly higher than the number who chose 'after breakfast' or 'after waking up'. Regarding the time when smoking was the most difficult to resist, the proportion of people who chose 'after dinner' that had quit smoking for less than 3 months was significantly low.
Those who prefer smoking 'after dinner' are less likely to start smoking cessation, but when they do, the rate of continuation for more than 1 year is high. We suggest that smoking cessation support based on preferred smoking times may lead to a decrease in the smoking rate.
我们研究了每日偏好吸烟时间与吸烟发生的典型情境之间的关系，旨在确定成功戒烟与偏好吸烟时间之间的关联。
我们开展了一项网络调查，并根据参与者选择的吸烟状况进行分类：“成功戒烟”、“戒烟失败”或“目前仍在吸烟”。最终，3637名年龄在30至59岁之间的人（1854名男性，1789名女性）被纳入研究。参与者还描述了吸烟似乎最具吸引力的时间点以及最难抗拒吸烟的时间点。
关于烟草渴望的时间，戒烟超过1年的非吸烟者中选择“晚餐后”的人数显著高于选择“早餐后”或“醒来后”的人数。关于最难抗拒吸烟的时间，戒烟不到3个月的人中选择“晚餐后”的比例显著较低。
那些偏好“晚餐后”吸烟的人开始戒烟的可能性较小，但当他们开始戒烟时，持续超过1年的比例较高。我们建议基于偏好吸烟时间的戒烟支持可能会导致吸烟率下降。
