简介和目标。报告关于想要戒烟的重要性和使用戒烟援助的需要的普遍态度和信念，这可能成为戒烟和采用戒烟援助的障碍。设计和方法。对 802 名随机选择的成年人（685 名吸烟者，117 名最近戒烟者）进行的全国电话调查。结果。 70%的吸烟者认为“想要戒烟”是能够戒烟的充分必要条件。虽然只有三分之一的吸烟者认为他们太上瘾而无法戒烟，但只有四分之一的人认为他们可以随时戒烟。 35% 的参与者认为使用戒烟援助是软弱的表现，这与改变的阶段有关。讨论和结论。人们普遍相信戒烟的重要性。许多吸烟者似乎认为，在值得尝试之前，需要有理性、明确的戒烟愿望。人们认为短期的行动冲动是不够的。大多数吸烟者似乎对戒烟援助在帮助吸烟者形成理性戒烟愿望方面的作用知之甚少。有必要让那些对戒烟犹豫不决的吸烟者更好地了解戒烟辅助的潜在价值。
Introduction and Aims. To report on the prevalence of attitudes and beliefs about the importance of wanting to quit and need for use of cessation assistance, that may act as barriers to quitting smoking and adopting cessation assistance. Design and Methods. National telephone survey of 802 randomly selected adults (685 smokers, 117 recent quitters). Results. Seventy per cent of smokers believed that 'wanting to quit' was both a necessary and sufficient condition for being able to quit. While only one-third of smokers believed that they were too addicted to be able to quit, only a quarter believed they could quit any time they want to. Belief that use of cessation assistance is a sign of weakness was endorsed by 35% of participants, and related to stage of change. Discussion and Conclusions. Beliefs about the importance of wanting to quit are commonly held. Many smokers appear to believe that a rational, unambivalent desire to quit is needed before it is worthwhile trying. Short-term impulses to act are not perceived as sufficient. The role of cessation assistance in helping smokers form a rational desire to quit appears to be poorly understood by the majority of smokers. There is a need to engender greater understanding of the potential value of cessation aids to smokers experiencing ambivalence about wanting to quit.
