“…Sociodemographic predictors of making attempts include being young (Hyland et al, 2006;Vanasse, Niyonsenga, & Courteau, 2004), male gender (Nides et al, 1995), White race (e.g., White American vs. minority American; Tucker, Ellickson, Orlando, & Klein, 2005), and well educated (Hatziandreu et al, 1990). Smoking-related predictors of making attempts include level of nicotine dependence (Clark, Kviz, Crittenden, & Warnecke, 1998;Hyland et al, 2006;Vanasse et al), measures of intention/motivation (Burt & Peterson, 1998;Clark et al;Hyland et al, 2006), past quit attempts (Burt & Peterson;Hyland et al, 2006), self-efficacy (Woodruff, Conway, & Edwards, 2008), and concern for health effects caused by smoking (Hyland et al, 2006;West, McEwen, Bolling, & Owen, 2001). …”

Introduction: Limited longitudinal studies on smoking cessation have been reported in Asia, and it remains unclear whether determinants of quitting are similar to those found in Western countries. This study examined prospective predictors of smoking cessation among adult smokers in Thailand and Malaysia.Methods: Four thousand and four smokers were surveyed in Malaysia and Thailand in 2005. Of these, 2,426 smokers were followed up in 2006 (61% retention). Baseline measures of sociodemographics, dependence, and interest in quitting were used to predict both making quit attempts and point prevalence maintenance of cessation.Results: More Thai than Malaysian smokers reported having made quit attempts between waves, but among those who tried, the rates of staying quit were not considerably different between Malaysians and Thais. Multivariate analyses showed that smoking fewer cigarettes per day, higher levels of self-efficacy, and more immediate quitting intentions were predictive of both making a quit attempt and staying quit in both countries. Previous shorter quit attempts and higher health concerns about smoking were only predictive of making an attempt, whereas prior abstinence for 6 months or more and older age were associated with maintenance.Discussion: In Malaysia and Thailand, predictors of quitting activity appear to be similar. However, as in the West, predictors of making quit attempts are not all the same as those who predict maintenance. The actual predictors differ in potentially important ways from those found in the West. We need to determine the relative contributions of cultural factors and the shorter history of efforts to encourage quitting in Asia.

“…117 It is also important to take note of some important differences between adult and adolescent smokers. Adolescents typically are more motivated to quit, 120 and they make more of an effort to quit smoking than adults. 121 However, adolescents seem to experience more withdrawal symptoms than adults, and they are more likely to relapse.…”

While the vast majority of adolescent smokers are cognizant of the difficulties involved in quitting smoking, there is no evidence of particularly refractory subgroups.…”

“…While the vast majority of adolescent smokers are cognizant of the difficulties involved in quitting smoking, there is no evidence of particularly refractory subgroups. 120 Epps and Manly 13 reported that ϳ60% of smokers initiate smoking before 16 years of age. Moreover, the risk of smoking initiation steadily increases from 12 to 16 years of age after which time a decline is noted.…”

The Pediatrician's Role in Reducing Tobacco Exposure in Children

et al. 2000

ABSTRACT. Objective. Pediatricians have a unique and important role to play in the prevention and treatment of childhood and adolescent tobacco use, the protection of patients from the harmful effects of environmental tobacco smoke, and the encouragement of smoking cessation among parents. However, because recent research indicates that physician training in tobacco dependence is woefully weak and lacks a model for training, this article constructs a useful approach to this problem.Methodology. A comprehensive review of the literature served as the basis for the development of a new model for pediatrician training in tobacco dependence.Results. A comprehensive model is presented for training pediatricians in the areas of reducing infant and child exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, preventing youth smoking initiation, and providing smoking cessation assistance for adolescents and parents.Conclusions. Pediatricians have been called on to play an active role in the antitobacco arena. Because of their unique opportunity to interact with children, adolescents, and parents, pediatricians can and should be antitobacco interventionists. For this to occur, however, additional guidance should be provided to pediatricians during their training to better prepare them to carry out effective assessment and intervention practices.

“…Many young smokers, however, want to quit and seriously attempt to do so (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2006;Allen et al, 1993;Burt and Peterson, 1998). Unfortunately, their self-initiated cessation rate is low (Zhu et al, 1999;Sussman et al, 1998;Stanton et al, 1996), and quitting grows more difficult with age as the amount smoked and level of dependence increase (COMMIT, 1995; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1989).…”

Objective-Well-documented challenges have hampered both intervention development and research in teen smoking cessation. Addressing these challenges, the Hutchinson Study of High School Smoking (HS Study), the largest group-randomized trial in adolescent smoking cessation to date, incorporates several design innovations to investigate the effect of a counselor-initiated, individually tailored telephone counseling smoking cessation intervention for older adolescents. This paper presents and discusses these innovative design features, and baseline findings on the resulting study population.Method-The trial used a population-based survey to proactively identify and recruit all high school juniors who had smoked in the past month-potentially expanding intervention reach to all smokers, even those who smoked less than daily and those not motivated to quit. For ethical and intervention reasons, some nonsmokers were enrolled in the intervention, also. Other important design features included the random allocation of schools into experimental conditions (intervention vs. nointervention control) and a multi-wave design.Results & Conclusion-The design innovations address problems and challenges identified in adolescent smoking cessation literature. The heterogeneous baseline characteristics of the study population, well-balanced between the two arms, have three significant implications: They (1) demonstrate the effectiveness of the trial's design features, (2) highlight several intervention-related issues, and (3) provide assurance that the trial's evaluation of intervention effectiveness will be unbiased.
