“…Short-term follow-up studies in adolescence have sought to describe the causal direction of this relationship, especially in the context of adolescent stress predicting the uptake of cigarette smoking (Byrne & Mazanov, 2003;Wills et al, 2002). Our results are consistent with the view that tobacco smoking may inhibit the development of self-efficacy or the confidence in one's ability to act in a given situation (Etter et al, 2000). As Parrott (1999) points out, because of its addictive nature, smoking becomes a highly overlearned behavior.…”

“…Elsewhere, we have estimated that the young smokers in our sample would have smoked on average about 25,000 cigarettes from the ages of 15-21 years; by age 32, for the 8 in every 10 who continued smoking daily, they would have smoked a staggering 66,000 cigarettes each (Welch & McGee, 2010). Perhaps 25% of these cigarettes were smoked in response to negative affect, including stress, worry, and boredom (Etter et al, 2000).…”

“…There is strong evidence that smokers cite subjective distress as a cue for smoking, and experimental manipulations indicate that stressful tasks and anxiety increase smoking, especially among younger individuals (Rose, Ananda, & Jarvik, 1983). Etter, Bergman, Humair, and Perneger (2000) estimate that as much as 25% of cigarette consumption is likely to be in response to negative affect, including stress, worry, and boredom. A consequence is that continually lighting up in response to negative affect leaves the sources of stress, worry, and boredom unaddressed.…”

“…Confirming some , but not all previous reports (Cheong et al, 2007), we found that preference for abrupt was associated with known predictors of abstinence such as motivation to quit and confidence in ability to quit (Etter et al, 2000;Peters et al, 2007). In addition, at baseline, time elapsed since the most recent relapse was 6 months shorter in those who preferred abrupt than in those who preferred gradual, suggesting that the former group made more frequent quit attempts.…”

Author's personal copy Drug and Alcohol Dependence 118 (2011) 360-365 Contents lists Participants: Smokers with no strong preference for abrupt or gradual quitting were randomly assigned to quitting immediately (n = 472), or to gradually reducing their cigarette consumption over 2 weeks and then quit (n = 502). Smokers who strongly preferred to quit abruptly were instructed to do so immediately (n = 2456), those who strongly preferred gradual were instructed to reduce their cigarette consumption over 2 weeks, then quit (n = 1801). Follow-up was conducted 4 weeks after target quit dates. Findings: Those who preferred abrupt quitting were the most motivated to quit and the most confident in their ability to quit. At follow-up, quit rates were 16% in those who preferred abrupt cessation, 7% in those who preferred gradual cessation and 9% in those who had no preference (p < 0.001). In the latter group, quit rates were equal for those randomized to abrupt or gradual (9%, p = 0.97). In those who expressed a strong preference for either method, there were interactions between quitting method, motivation to quit and confidence in ability to quit: those who had low levels of motivation or low levels of confidence were more likely to quit at follow-up if they preferred and used abrupt rather than gradual. Conclusions: In those who had no strong preference for either method, abrupt and gradual produced similar results. Those who preferred and used the abrupt method were more likely to quit than those who preferred and used the gradual method, in particular when they had low motivation and confidence.

“…We measured cognitive factors shown to be predictive of smoking abstinence in previous research, including motivation to quit (stages of change) [48], selfefficacy for achieving smoking cessation, and the participant's confidence in his ability to abstain from smoking in high-risk situations (Smoking SelfEfficacy Questionnaire (SEQ)) [49] and situational temptations to smoke (Smoking Situations Temptations Inventory (SST)) [50]. We also assessed for depression (CES-D) [51,52], anxiety (STAIT) [53], mindfulness (Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory (FMI)) [54], and physical self worth, attractiveness, physical strength, and condition (Physical Self Perception Profile Scale (PSPP)) [55].…”

Innovative treatments like yoga for men's smoking cessation (SC) are lacking. To examine the feasibility and acceptability of yoga for men's SC. We randomly assigned eligible men (smoker, ≥5 cigarettes/day, age 18-65) to receive cognitive behavioral therapy for SC, plus a yoga or wellness program. Measures included feasibility (recruitment, class attendance) and acceptability (customer satisfaction). We enrolled 38 of 49 eligible men of 167 screened in response to ads (mean age 39.9 years, ±13.7) who smoked on average 18.6 cigarettes/day (±8.3). Wellness (75.8 %) versus yoga (56 %) men attended more SC classes, p<0.01. Sixty percent attended ≥1 yoga class. Men reported greater satisfaction with in-house versus community yoga classes. Wellness appears to be the preferred intervention; results indicated that it may be more feasible and showed increased attendance at smoking classes. To be fully feasible, yoga + SC may need to be a unified program offering all classes tailored for men and in the same location. KeywordsSmoking cessation, Tobacco use cessation, Yoga, Exercise, Affect, Mind-body therapies INTRODUCTION Five times more men than women smoke worldwide [1]. In the USA in particular, where smoking is the leading preventable cause of death [2] and smoking prevalence has decreased by over 50 % since 1965, there are still significantly more men (21.5 %) than women (16.5 %) smokers [3]. The 2001 Surgeon General's report on women and smoking highlighted several urgent action items [4]. One of these action items was to "encourage the reporting of gender-specific results from studies of influences on smoking behavior, smoking prevention, and cessation interventions." Since 2001, researchers have made considerable progress toward increasing the evidence base and understanding of tobacco use and smoking cessation among women, although more research is still needed. However, given the continued significantly greater number of men who smoke and in some cases, higher rates of associated co-morbidities, it is imperative that the

Development and validation of a scale measuring self‐efficacy of current and former smokers

Abstract: SEQ-12 is a valid and reliable scale, which has applications in both research and clinical settings. It can also produce input data for computer systems that generate counselling reports tailored to the characteristics of each individual smoker.
