Two hundred and eight interviews with ex-cigarette-smokers in the street and 208 interviews with ex-cigarette-smoker chest patients, all over 45 years of age, gave a composite picture of people commonly smoking until their health is affected. Symptoms were much more important then tobacco tax or propaganda in stopping cigarette-smoking. Of continuing smokers 16% wished that they could stop because of symptoms. Fear of the presence of cigarette-induced disease was thought to explain why some patients gave unconvincing reasons for abandoning cigarettes or had become ex-smokers in the year preceding their examination and many of these had carcinoma of the bronchus. Cigarette abandonment should be accepted as part of the symptomatology of respiratory disease. It sometimes is the first identifiable event in the relevant medical history of chest patients.
对45岁以上的208名街头戒烟者和208名戒烟的胸部疾病患者进行访谈，得出了一幅人们通常在健康受到影响之前一直吸烟的综合图景。在戒烟方面，症状比烟草税或宣传更为重要。在仍在吸烟的人群中，16%的人希望因症状而戒烟。对香烟诱发疾病的恐惧被认为可以解释为什么一些患者给出了令人难以信服的戒烟理由，或者在检查前一年就已成为戒烟者，其中许多人患有支气管癌。应该将戒烟视为呼吸系统疾病症状学的一部分。它有时是胸部疾病患者相关病史中第一个可识别的事件。
