Description:Introduction:
More than three out of five US adults who have ever smoked cigarettes have quit. This study assessed the latest estimates of smoking cessation among US adults with and without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who had ever smoked cigarettes (ever smokers).
Methods:
Data from 161,233 ever smokers (12.8% with COPD) in the 2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) were analyzed in 2020. Weighted percentages of quit ratios (percentage of ever smokers who quit smoking), past-year quit attempts (≥1 day), and recent successful cessation (quit ≥ 6 months ago) by self-reported physician-diagnosed COPD status were obtained from multivariable logistic regression analyses with adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics, health-risk behaviors, depression, and asthma.
Results:
Adults with COPD who smoked had greater age-adjusted past-year quit attempts (68.8% vs. 64.3%), but lower recent successful cessation (4.5% vs. 5.8%) and quit ratio (53.2% vs. 63.9%) than those without COPD. After adjusting for covariates, Adults with COPD who smoked had a significantly higher percentage of past-year quit attempts, but similar recent successful cessation and a significantly lower lifetime quit ratio compared with their counterparts without COPD.
Conclusions:
Our findings suggest that individuals with COPD who try to quit smoking may be less likely to succeed than those without COPD. Evidence-based treatments for smoking cessation remains an important component of a comprehensive approach to help all adults to quit and are a particularly important element of COPD management and care.
