ABSTRACT
A total of 133 smokers visiting our smoking cessation clinic from February 2009 to September 2010 were studied.The data were collected during initial assessments and over a follow-up period of 24 months.Long-term abstinence rate was observed.And logistic regression was employed to identify the independent predictors of successful quitting.There were 132 males and 1 female with a mean age of 47 years.They smoked an average of 26 cigarettes per day.The mean duration of smoking was 25 years.Among them,57 smokers (42.9%) were severely nicotine dependent and 76 smokers (57.1%) were followed up for 24 months.And 20 smokers (26.3%) maintained 24 month abstinence.The predictor of avoiding relapse was immediate family members being nonsmokers.
