Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify factors that successfully influence to quit smoking in female college students. The study was conducted from September 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017. Participants included 477 female student smokers, the average age was 20.87 years. The participants received smoking cessation counseling over the course of nine visits and via telephone calls for a period of 6 months. Follow-up assessments were conducted at 4, 6, 12, and 24 weeks. The factors significantly associated with successful smoking cessation included the average number of cigarettes smoked per day, age of first smoking experience, nicotine dependency, number of counseling sessions, confidence, and readiness. The most influential factor was the number of counseling sessions. Hence, this study suggested to promote continuous counseling and to introduce counseling programs tailored to female students, which might increase their success rate of quitting.
