“…But a problem for this approach is that it appears that there is little consistency in what smokers who quit by their own efforts actually do to achieve cessation (Baer, Foreyt & Wright, 1977), so it is difficult to determine precisely how selfdirected efforts may best be enhanced.

“…A further argument for the use of self-instructional materials is that they encourage individual responsibility, with smokers choosing the content which will be of most use to them in their own efforts at cessation. But a problem for this approach is that it appears that there is little consistency in what smokers who quit by their own efforts actually do to achieve cessation (Baer, Foreyt & Wright, 1977), so it is difficult to determine precisely how selfdirected efforts may best be enhanced. It has also been argued that self-initiated change may result in significantly better maintenance of new habits (Loro, Fisher & Levenkron, 1979;Winkler, 1986).…”

Cigarette smoking is the single most lethal risk to health in Australia: it contributes significantly to premature mortality and morbidity, particularly from cardiovascular disease and cancer. Smoking appears to be initiated and maintained by a range of biological, psychological and social influences, and is a behaviour pattern which can be very resistant to change. Psychologists have contributed to the development of more effective face-to-face programs for smoking cessation. However, there needs to be a much stronger focus by our discipline on public-health aspects ofsmoking: understanding the social factors which influence smoking prevalence; discouraging the adoption of the smoking habit; and developing more effective and acceptahle methods for assisting large numbers of smokers to stop. The large-scale reduction of smoking prevalence should he a high priority for psychologists concerned with health promotion and chronic disease prevention.

“…Self monitoring procedures have been used to modify cigarette smoking (44,46,145), to reduce cholesterol levels (57), as a treatment for obesity (58,59) and to enhance pill compliance (66). Comprehensive self-management programs have been used to promote compliance to treatment regimens following myocardial infarction (65) and to control smoking behaviors (146,147). …”
