“…This is because participants in RCTs of smoking cessation treatments are usually not representative of the general population of smokers . Those who seek help to quit smoking tend to be more dependent upon nicotine , have previously quit and relapsed , and may lack self‐efficacy compared with those who do not seek help to quit. Most importantly, up to three quarters of successful ex‐smokers quit smoking unaided .…”

The association between quitting smoking and weight gain: a systemic review and meta‐analysis of prospective cohort studies

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify weight gain after smoking cessation and the difference in weight gain between quitters and continuing smokers. Five electronic databases were searched before January 2015. Population-based prospective cohort studies were included if they recorded the weight change of adult smokers from baseline (before smoking cessation) to follow-up (at least 3 months after cessation). Thirty-five cohort studies were identified, including 63,403 quitters and 388,432 continuing smokers. The mean weight gain was 4.10 kg (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.69, 5.51) and body mass index (BMI) gain was 1.14 kg m(-2) (95% CI: 0.50, 1.79) among quitters. Compared with continuing smoking, quitting smoking was significantly associated with absolute weight (adjusted mean difference [MD]: 2.61 kg; 95% CI: 1.61, 3.60) and BMI gain (adjusted MD: 0.63 kg m(-2) ; 95% CI: 0.46, 0.80). Subgroup analyses using geographic region found that the difference in weight gain was considerably greater in studies from North America than from Asia. Follow-up length was identified as a source of heterogeneity, such that studies with longer follow-up showed greater difference in weight gain. Effective strategies are needed to encourage smokers to quit irrespective of potential weight gain and to help quitters avoid excess weight gain.

“…Although a higher level of quitting self-efficacy has sometimes been shown to predict greater interest and enrollment in smoking cessation treatments, 58 as well as a lower likelihood of dropping out of cessation programs, 29,58 among non-pregnant populations, higher confidence in quitting has been found to increase dropout rates among Hispanic smokers enrolled in a smoking cessation program. 59 The higher level of baseline self-efficacy for quitting smoking among postpartum non-attendees suggests that they may have perceived that they no longer needed assistance to achieve their quitting goals.…”

Predictors of Smoking Cessation Counseling Adherence in a Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Sample of Pregnant Women

Implementing and evaluating smoking cessation interventions in underserved populations has been found difficult due to high rates of non-adherence to the prescribed protocol. To understand better the barriers to cessation participation, we studied low-income inner-city pregnant women who were enrolled in either a standard or highly intensive quit smoking counseling program. The results showed that 1) in the prenatal phase, non-attendance was predicted by a greater number of cigarettes smoked per day; 2) in the postpartum follow-up phase, non-attendance was predicted by lower educational level and higher self-efficacy for quitting smoking; and 3) participants with more children living at home were at increased risk of rescheduling the postpartum follow-up session. These findings suggest that innovative delivery strategies are needed more effectively to assess and address risk factors for non-adherence to smoking cessation trials among underserved minority pregnant/postpartum smokers.

“…A growing number of studies have examined factors related to participation in cessation programs [3,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Most of these studies focused primarily on sociodemographic factors (e.g., age, gender, race, education, income) and smoking behaviors (e.g., motivation for cessation, smoking rate, past-year quit attempts, age of smoking onset).…”
