“…For example. in MRFIT, special intervention subjects claiming to be former smokers at followup examinations had mean SCN-levels between those of never smokers and continuing smokers (Ockene et al 1982). Similar discrepancies between reported and validated cessation rates did not occur for the usual care men who had not received intensive intervention.…”

“…Cross-sectional studies among smokers wanting to quit have found that successful quitters score significantly higher on measures of self-efficacy than either those who tried to quit and failed (Abrams et al 1987;Barrios and Niehaus 1985;Prochaska et al 1982) or continuing smokers (Katz and Singh 1986). These differences may reflect that successful quitters generally have higher efficacy scores to begin with (Fleisher et al, in press: Mothersill, McDowell, Rosser 1988;Ockene et al 1982: Prochaska et al 1985 or that one's expectations that smoking can be resisted would rise significantly as a function of actual success in doing so.…”

Public health laws intended to prevent children from smoking have been enacted in many states. We surveyed the relevant laws in all states and the District of Columbia. The efficacy of one such law prohibiting the sale of tobacco to individuals under the age of 18 years was assessed with the cooperation of an 11-year-old girl. She was successful in 75 of 100 attempts to purchase cigarettes. On the basis of this experience and a review of existing laws, we have made recommendations for a model law. These include a prohibition of the possession of tobacco by minors, a prohibition of the sale of tobacco to minors, a requirement for a warning sign at the point of sale, a ban on cigarette vending machines, and a reward for individuals reporting violators of vending laws.

A follow-up study of 263 volunteers who had completed a national smoking cessation program was conducted to measure the relative contribution of stress coping resources, smoking history, loci, for health control, and certain demographic factors to the maintenance of smoking cessation. Stress coping resources and smoking history variables proved to be more predictive of the maintenance of abstinence than either perceived locus of control or demographic variables. Coping resources in the forms of perceived confidence, physical health, physical fitness, problem solving, self-directedness, and tension control were useful in predicting abstinence maintenance. Contrary to some earlier studies, no gender differences in relapse rates were found, and smoking a greater number of cigarettes daily and smoking cigarettes with a higher tar content were related to greater success in maintaining smoking abstinence. As was found in previous studies, the presence of other smokers in the household contributed to relapse.
