Four hundred fourteen former and 73 current users of smokeless tobacco were questioned about their experiences in giving up smokeless tobacco. Their responses were compared with those of 463 ex-smokers to determine whether former smokeless tobacco users differed from former smokers in using specific cessation techniques. Of the smokeless tobacco users, 77% were interested in quitting, but only 7% wanted to quit "now." Seven percent of the daily users reported that a college-based health or fitness professional had advised them to quit. Former smokeless tobacco users were significantly more likely than former smokers to report that smoking cigarettes was related to their efforts to give up smokeless tobacco than former smokers were to report using smokeless tobacco as a strategy to stop smoking, Former smokeless tobacco users were also significantly more likely than former smokers to report current tobacco use. Smokeless tobacco cessation programs based on the transtheoretical approach to behavior change are recommended.
414名曾经使用过无烟烟草的人和73名目前仍在使用无烟烟草的人被问及他们在戒烟方面的经历。他们的回答与463名曾经吸烟的人的回答进行了比较，以确定曾经使用无烟烟草的人与曾经吸烟的人在使用特定戒烟技巧方面是否存在差异。在无烟烟草使用者中，77%的人有兴趣戒烟，但只有7%的人想“现在”就戒烟。7%的每日使用者表示，大学的健康或健身专业人员曾建议他们戒烟。与曾经吸烟的人相比，曾经使用无烟烟草的人更有可能报告吸烟与他们戒烟的努力有关，而曾经吸烟的人则更有可能报告使用无烟烟草作为戒烟的一种策略。曾经使用无烟烟草的人也比曾经吸烟的人更有可能报告目前仍在使用烟草。建议采用基于行为改变跨理论方法的无烟烟草戒烟项目。
