The sociodemographic pattern of tobacco cessation in the 1980s: results from a panel study of living condition surveys in Sweden.
To analyse the factors that determined whether or not people were successful in quitting tobacco during the 1980s in Sweden. ⋯ One in four smokers had quit during the 1980s and a few started smoking (5%). Some men quit smoking and started using snuff instead. For both sexes, the daily consumption of cigarettes, years spent smoking, and age were the most important determinants of successful quitting. In men, being married/ cohabiting was an important factor as was higher education in women.
