“…Almost the totality of our patients (437/450 patients; 97.1%) smoked every day. The median daily consumption was 20 cigarettes per day with an interquartile range [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. The maximum consumption in our study was 80 cigarettes per day.…”

“…Smoking cessation is strongly linked to the age of the patient. The older the patient, the higher the success rate of cessation [11,13,[21][22][23]. This is related to a certain maturity level and self-concern about health status.…”

“…Moreover, while studies have shown that the later the age of onset and the shorter the number of years, the more successful the cessation [13,20], other studies have shown that the length of time a person has been smoking is a factor in success [20,21]. In addition, previous quit attempts (even non-successful ones) are factors in successful smoking cessation [12,13,18,20,21]. Indeed, the feeling of past failure and past loss of motivation and confidence make quitting smoking a challenge to accomplish.…”

In addition, it has been proven that the prolonged follow-up and the assiduity of the patients are strongly significant in the project of smoking cessation [21].

Objective: Since 2009, the unit of smoking cessation at Sahloul University Hospital -Tunisia was founded. In this context, the objective of our study was to determine the factors associated with smoking cessation in Tunisian smokers. Methods: It was a descriptive prospective study over five-years-period 2015-2020. We included all patients who willingly came to the anti-smoking consultation of the Sahloul University hospital Sousse Tunisia. Data were collected during the consultation of all patients. We proceeded to a univariate and then multivariable analysis to identify the predictive factors of smoking cessation. Results: Over 5 years, we included 450 patients, mainly males (91.3%). The average age of the consultants was 46 ±15.58 years. The average age of the first cigarette among our patients was 16.83± 4.34 years. The likelihood of smoking cessation was higher among males (p=0.004, OR=9.708), patients attending minimum 3 anti-smoking consultations (p<10-3, OR=5.714), patients benefiting from nicotine replacement therapy (p=0.034, OR=2.123), with high motivation score for smoking cessation (p=0.001, OR=1.980) and with an advanced age of the first cigarette (p<10-3, OR=1.096). However, the likelihood of smoking cessation was lower among coffee and alcohol consumers (p=0.002, OR=0.252) and smokers with less than 5 years smoking habit (p=0.011, OR=0.069). Conclusion:Although the decision to stop smoking is a personal one, it requires medical and psychological support as highlighted by our findings. Our study showed that assiduity and medical assistance for tobacco cessation increase smokers' chances of quitting.
