The diagnosis of a smoking-related disease is a prominent trigger for smoking cessation in a retrospective cohort study
2006, Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :In the year of diagnosis of myocardial infarction or stroke, the rate of cessation increased 7- to 11-fold; however, the impact of these conditions, as well as of other severe smoking-related diseases (diabetes, cancer), appears to be limited to the time shortly after diagnosis. Our results are consistent with findings from other studies, which suggest that smokers with a poorer health status are more likely to attempt to quit [17], are in later stages of readiness to change [18], are more likely to take part in cessation programs [19], and are more often offered antismoking counseling by general practitioners [20]. Successful smoking cessation in the general population, which is affected by quit attempts and success in quitting among those trying to quit, has been shown to be associated with health status in some [9–11,21,22], but not all previous studies [8,12].
