“…22,23) The intention to quit smoking was also associated with a history of IHD. 24) However, there were no significant associations with the participants' medical history in this study. The reason may be the low rate of diagnosed diseases; only 8.2%, 10.1%, and 5.2% were diagnosed with stroke, IHD, and cancer, respectively.…”

Background: Tobacco smoking is associated with several diseases and deaths in older Koreans. This study aimed to evaluate the factors associated with smoking cessation in older Koreans. Methods: We selected 579 subjects who started smoking before the age of 65 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2016–2018. We excluded the subjects who quit smoking before the age of 65 years, and then categorized the rest of subjects into those who stopped smoking after the age of 65 years and those who are constant smokers. Multivariable logistic analysis was performed to evaluate the factors related to smoking cessation among older Koreans. Results: Among the participants, 66.1% were persistent smokers. After multivariable analysis, the factors significantly associated with smoking cessation were as follows: being in the age group of 75–79 years (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 4.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.12–7.83), being in the age group of 70–74 years (aOR, 3.10; 95% CI, 1.72–5.61), a family history of ischemic heart disease (aOR, 3.36; 95% CI, 1.09–10.35), and having had no cancer screening (aOR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.18–0.70). Conclusion: Further efforts to identify the factors related to smoking cessation will help formulate a smoking cessation policy.

“…Few studies assessing the factors associated with quit intentions have been conducted in South Korea (see Supplementary Table S1 ) [ 18 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Two of these studies [ 18 , 24 ], conducted by the International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation (ITC) Project, reported that sociodemographic factors, smoking-related beliefs, smoking restrictions at home, tobacco-related knowledge, and nicotine dependence were associated with having a quit intention [ 18 , 24 ].…”

Background: South Korea has made substantial progress on tobacco control, but cigarette smoking prevalence is still high. Previous studies were conducted before the use of nicotine vaping products (NVPs) or heated tobacco products (HTPs) became popular. Thus, whether the concurrent use of NVPs or HTPs affects quit intentions among Korean smokers remains a question that needs to be explored. This study aims to identify predictors of quit intentions among cigarette-only smokers and concurrent users of cigarettes and NVPs or HTPs. Methods: Data were from the 2020 International Tobacco Control Korea Survey. Included in the analysis were 3778 adult cigarette smokers: 1900 at-least-weekly exclusive smokers and 1878 at-least-weekly concurrent smokers and HTP or NVP users. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted. Results: Quit intentions were reported by 66.4% of respondents. Factors significantly associated with quit intentions included younger age, having a spouse/partner, lower nicotine dependence, reporting a past quit attempt, regretting starting smoking, believing that smoking had damaged health, worrying that smoking will damage future health, and perceiving health benefits of quitting. Current use of NVPs or HTPs was not significantly associated with quit intentions. Conclusions: This study contributes the following to current literature: intrinsic health-related beliefs were more important than societal norms in shaping quit intentions. These findings should be considered in shaping future smoking cessation policies, such as reinforcing education programs that emphasize the benefits of quitting for personal health reasons, lowering nicotine dependence, and encouraging multiple quit attempts and successful quitting.

BACKGROUND: The Stages of Change (SOC) measure and Motivation To Stop Scale (MTSS) are regularly used to capture current smokers’ intention to quit (ITQ) cigarette smoking. They were shown to have comparable performances in construct and predictive validity, but their immediate test-retest reliabilities have not been investigated. In this randomized online two-arm study, we examined the immediate test-retest reliability of both SOC and MTSS measures. METHODS: Adult current smokers were randomized to complete an electronic version of either the SOC or MTSS, which was filled out before and after completing a filler task. Test-retest reliability was assessed with Cohen’s kappa coefficients. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated as an index of reliability for the MTSS, when expressed as a continuous variable. RESULTS: A total of 722 participants were included in the analyses, with 311 and 411 completing the SOC and MTSS, respectively. The two measures showed high reliability; Cohen’s kappa coefficients of the ITQ measures ranged from 0.73 to 0.95, corresponding to substantial agreement up to “almost perfect” or “perfect” agreement. The ICC coefficient for the MTSS was 0.86, corresponding to excellent agreement. CONCLUSIONS: Both measures have good test-retest reliability over a brief time interval. Instrument selection should be driven by the specific study objective and whether the investigation is intended to measure ITQ specifically or more broadly.
