Young smokers' attitudes about methods for quitting smoking: barriers and benefits to using assisted methods

Article Abstract:

Young smokers underestimate the likelihood of success in quitting smoking using assisted methods and overestimate that of unassisted methods. The main factor affecting the choice of a smoking cessation method is likelihood of success. Convenience of use and cost also affect the decision. An increase in cost of the assisted method decreases the probability of it being used by the smokers. Young smokers are more likely to choose assisted methods if they perceive them as being cheap and having a high likelihood of success.
