Adolescent cigarette smokers from randomly selected classrooms from 24 California and Illinois high schools were assessed regarding their interest in cessation, reasons for quitting, and smoking temptation circumstances. These data were analyzed by gender. Males and females were not found to differ in quit stage or perceived likelihood of ever quitting smoking, although males reported being somewhat more likely to have ever tried to quit in the past. The associations of reasons for quitting were not found to vary by gender in most comparisons. On the other hand, the associations of smoking temptation circumstances with gender showed that a greater percentage of females than males reported more circumstances that would make them tempted to smoke. Smoking cigarettes to regulate one's affective states, and to avoid nicotine withdrawal, may be functions of smoking that impede efforts at quitting, particularly among adolescent females.
从加利福尼亚州和伊利诺伊州24所高中随机抽取的教室中选取青少年吸烟者，对他们戒烟的意愿、戒烟原因以及吸烟诱惑情况进行评估。这些数据按性别进行分析。尽管男性报告称过去尝试戒烟的可能性略高，但在戒烟阶段或认为自己戒烟的可能性方面，未发现男性和女性存在差异。在大多数比较中，未发现戒烟原因的关联因性别而异。另一方面，吸烟诱惑情况与性别的关联表明，报告有更多情况会使他们想吸烟的女性比例高于男性。吸烟以调节情绪状态以及避免尼古丁戒断，可能是吸烟的作用，会阻碍戒烟努力，尤其是在青少年女性中。
