“…Perceived Barriers to smoking cessation were strongly associated with low confidence in the ability to quit smoking. According to Milcarz et al ., 18 the most common barriers to stop smoking were related to difficulties in quitting, such as lack of willingness, habit, stress and mood swings. A higher proportion of such barriers was found among heavy smokers compared to light smokers.…”

Background: The smoking behavior among young adult women causes health issues and has effects on ethical norms, especially femininity and gender. A woman smoker usually has an intention to quit and several factors have been perceived to be related to this action according to the Health Belief Model (HBM). Design and Methods: This study was conducted cross-sectionally to analyze the correlation between young adult women’s intention to stop smoking with perceived factors in the construction of HBM. A sample of 58 young adult women smokers and aged between 15-30 years were selected through the use of a purposive sampling technique in 2018. Results: The results showed the intention to stop smoking has a significant correlation with perceived susceptibility (P=0.036), perceived severity (P=0.028), perceived benefits (P=0.011), perceived barriers (P=0.003), and perceived self-efficacy (P=0.005). This means there was a significant correlation between the intention of young adult smokers to quit smoking and the perceived factors of HBM. Conclusions: The intention of stop smoking behavior among women smokers has a significant correlation with the perceived factors of the Health Belief Model construct, which includes perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and perceived self-efficacy.

Purpose Most smokers attempt to quit smoking, but few are successful. Data regarding the reasons for this relapse and the course of the relapse process may be helpful for determining efficient methods of smoking cessation. This study aimed to identify the causes of and scenarios associated with smoking relapse after effective smoking cessation. Patients and Methods We conducted 20 semi-structured interviews with smokers who had previously unsuccessfully attempted to quit. The data underwent qualitative content analysis. Results Three major themes were identified: reasons for smoking relapse; smoking relapse scenarios; and perception of the influence of personal environments, including family and physicians, on refraining from smoking after cessation. The first theme comprised the following subthemes: insufficient willpower and self-discipline, contact with smokers, exposure to stressful situations, lack of family support, weight gain, and insufficient improvement in one’s mental and physical well-being. The second theme contained enjoyable social events, professional life, critical events, and encouragement to smoke from family members. The respondents frequently emphasized the large role of interaction with other smokers. Conclusion The predominant factors underlying smoking relapse include insufficient willpower and self-discipline and exposure to stress. The most frequent relapse scenario concerned experiencing negative or positive emotions when interacting with other smokers.

“…Although there is evidence to suggest that encouraging patients to stop smoking (by issuing coupons, paying cash, and giving gifts) results in an improvement in both short and long term success rates, debates continue on this matter (20). Encouraging the patient as well as his or her physician are other issues discussed in relation to these processes (21).…”

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of periodic free drug applications of the Ministry of Health on Smoking Cessation Polyclinic (SCP) and the success rates of the treatment methods used. Material and Methods: A total of 1861 patients applied to SCP in a county state hospital in Şanlıurfa between January 1 and December 31, 2017 were included in this study. Patients not smoke for at least six months were accepted as non-smokers. Each patient was followed up for at least six months. The data was calculated as number and percentage. Results: According to months the highest application was seen in December. In July and November, there was a significant decrease in the number of patients applying to SCP. It was determined that 80.0% of the patients received behavior therapy, 20.0% received pharmacological treatment. Utilization of pharmacological treatment was the lowest in July with no patient and the highest in November with 96.8%. The rate of quitting with pharmacological treatment was 27.4% while this rate was 18.9% with behavioral therapy. Conclusion: The Ministry of Health's periodic free drug application policy has a direct impact on SCPs. This may be the reason for resistance in patients to smoking cessation with behavioral therapy. Smoking cessation treatments should be provided throughout the year. It is recommended that free drug treatments include all drugs and supply from pharmacies through report. We think that with these arrangements, the compliance of patients to treatment and their determination to quit smoking will increase.
