“…However, the ORs were not statistically significant. Thus, although previous studies showed that anxiety pertaining to weight gain after smoking cessation was higher in overweight or obese smokers13,23,24, the current findings suggest that normal weight smokers are more likely to have a smoking cessation plan.…”

Background: Concerns regarding weight gain after smoking cessation may interfere with quitting smoking. This study investigated the association between smoking cessation plans and body mass index (BMI, kg/m 2 ) in Korean adult smokers. Methods: Using data from the sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013Survey ( -2015, 3,000 current smokers aged 19 years or older were selected and divided into four weight groups. The cohorts included an underweight group (BMI, <18.5 kg/m 2 ), normal weight group (BMI, ≥18.5 to <23 kg/m 2 ), overweight group (BMI, ≥23 to <25 kg/m 2 ), and obese group (BMI, ≥25 kg/m 2 ). The relationship between BMI and smoking cessation plans in Korean adults was analyzed using multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: Multiple logistic regression analysis showed sex (odds ratio [OR], 0.723; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.556-0.939), high-risk drinking (OR, 0.796; 95% CI, 0.634-0.998), aerobic physical activity (OR, 1.326; 95% CI, 1.092-1.612), and hypertension (OR, 1.387; 95% CI, 1.034-1.860) were the significant factors related to smoking cessation plans. According to the BMI categories, the ORs of smoking cessation plans were numerically higher in the normal weight group than the other three groups. However, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Normal weight subjects tended to have a greater number of smoking cessation plans than the other three weight groups, but the difference was not statistically significant. In the clinic, it is necessary to consider not only BMI but also other factors associated with a smoking cessation plans.

“…The majority of female smokers are concerned about post-cessation weight gain (Beebe & Bush, 2015; Jeffery, Hennrikus, Lando, Murray, & Liu, 2000; Pirie, Murray, & Luepker, 1991; Pomerleau, Zucker, & Stewart, 2001), with 75% reporting that they are unwilling to gain more than 5 lb, and 90% unwilling to gain more than 10 lb (Levine et al, 2001; Pomerleau & Kurth, 1996). In other studies, smokers were asked whether they would relapse if they gained weight up to 20 lb.…”

Distress Tolerance Treatment for Weight Concern in Smoking Cessation Among Women: The WE QUIT Pilot Study

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Fear of gaining weight after quitting cigarette smoking is a major barrier to smoking cessation among women. Distress tolerance, which refers to one’s ability and willingness to tolerate physical and emotional discomfort, predicts successful behavior change. Novel interventions rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) have emerged that aim to increase distress tolerance and engagement in values-oriented behavior. In this study, we developed a 9-week, group-based distress tolerance intervention for weight concern in smoking cessation among women (DT-W). Using an iterative process, we piloted DT-W with two small groups (n = 4 and n = 7) of female weight-concerned smokers. Results indicated that we successfully established the feasibility and acceptability of DT-W, which was well-attended and well-received. Biochemically verified 7-day point-prevalence abstinence rates at post-intervention, 1, 3, and 6 months were 64%, 36%, 27%, and 27%, respectively. We are now evaluating DT-W in a randomized controlled trial.

“…The majority of women who quit smoking gain 8 to 10 lb on average [9][10][11][12][13]. Many women smokers report concerns about weight gain as a barrier to quitting [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], and women quitters who return to smoking identify weight gain as a reason for their relapse [26][27][28][29]. Women who are highly concerned about their weight are more likely to smoke as a means to control their weight [15,30,31].…”

Women face particular challenges when quitting smoking, especially those with weight concerns. A multi-behavioral smoking cessation intervention addressing these concerns and incorporating guided imagery may assist women to engage in healthy lifestyle behaviors. An mHealth app can easily disseminate such an intervention. The goals of this pilot study were to develop and test the feasibility and potential of the See Me Smoke-Free ™ mHealth app to address smoking, diet, and physical activity among women smokers. We used pragmatic, directto-consumer methods to develop and test program content, functionality, and the user interface and conduct a pre-/post-test, 90-day pilot study. We enrolled 151 participants. Attrition was 52%, leaving 73 participants. At 90 days, 47% of participants reported 7-day abstinence and significant increases in physical activity and fruit consumption. Recruitment methods worked well, but similar to other mHealth studies, we experienced high attrition. This study suggests that a guided imagery mHealth app has the potential to address multiple behaviors. Future research should consider different methods to improve retention and assess efficacy.
