Use of smoking cessation aids: role of perceived safety and efficacy
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-17, 11:59 authored by Stuart FergusonStuart Ferguson, Benjamin SchuezBenjamin Schuez, Gitchell, JGThe majority of smokers indicate that they would like to quit. It has been estimated that approximately three quarters of Australian smokers have tried to change their behaviour in the last 12 months (Scollo & Winstanley, 2008); similarly more than half of US smokers report having tried to quit in the last year (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2011). Despite their interest in quitting, the proportion of smokers who successfully quit each year is very low (CDC, 2011). While other factors are also important, poor cessation rates can partly be attributed to the low uptake of efficacious smoking cessation methods, particularly pharmacotherapies (Shiffman, Brockwell, et al., 2008).
