Abstract

Knowing the smoker’s motivation in their decision to quit this habit increases the success rate by combining drug therapy in smoking cessation syndrome with psycho-behavioural techniques. The retrospective descriptive study followed the most important reasons for smoking cessation for 918 smokers who have been admitted at smoking cessation program. Results: the most frequent reason for smoking cessation was related to the health state (53.38%), but also by constantly increasing burden of cigarettes’ prices (61.44%). Also, the motivation “it’s enough” was frequently specified (65.25%), along with the partner’s pressure (39.32%) and the desire not to be addicted (47.82%). Recognition of smoking cessation motivations led to the identification of principles of behavioural therapy for each individual by psychiatrist.
