However, only 55.4% of\u00a0them are either willing or getting ready to quit. This indicates an explicit gap between perception and practice.&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AIM.&lt;\/strong&gt; This study aims to identify individual knowledge, attitude, practices, barriers and motivators for tobacco\u00a0cessation amongst smokers.&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MATERIAL AND METHODS.&lt;\/strong&gt; A cross-sectional study was carried out amongst the smokers visiting\u00a0dental outpatient department at tertiary health care centre at Rohtak district of Haryana, India. A structured\u00a0and validated questionnaire was developed to ascertain knowledge, attitude, practice and nicotine dependence\u00a0amongst the tobacco smokers. Additionally information about their willingness to quit tobacco, barriers and\u00a0motivators for tobacco cessation were obtained. The study population was broadly divided into two groups on\u00a0the basis of any previous attempts made for quitting tobacco use.&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RESULTS.&lt;\/strong&gt; Among the sample of 371 smokers, 52.4% were found to make quit attempts while 47.6% never\u00a0attempted to quit. Participants believed that smoking not only helps in socializing but also it is a good way to\u00a0cope from the stress. Peer pressure was the major reason for initiation of habit of smoking. Those who have\u00a0attempted to quit but could not do so for more than 6 months were more willing to quit. Concern for health and\u00a0tobacco addiction was the major facilitator and barriers of tobacco cessation respectively.&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONCLUSION.&lt;\/strong&gt; Comprehending the population before chalking down the tobacco cessation strategies is\u00a0important. Lower education, higher alcohol consumption, longer duration of tobacco intake, cultural and social\u00a0acceptability of tobacco use and nicotine dependence was the major roadblocks for tobacco cessation amongst\u00a0the tobacco smokers. Cold turkey method was the most common choice of tobacco cessation who attempted to\u00a0quit.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.32394\/pe.76.46","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,5]],"date-time":"2023-04-05T09:47:36Z","timestamp":1680688056000},"page":"495-502","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Determinants for tabacco cessation amongst smokers visiting tertiary health care centre in India."],"prefix":"10.32394","volume":"76","author":[{"given":"Deepali","family":"Agarwal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adarsh","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manjunath","family":"BC1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vijay","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"17323","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,5]]},"container-title":["Przeglad Epidemiologiczny"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.przeglepidemiol.pzh.gov.pl\/pdf-181105-101666","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.przeglepidemiol.pzh.gov.pl\/pdf-181105-101666","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,8]],"date-time":"2024-03-08T08:43:45Z","timestamp":1709887425000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.przeglepidemiol.pzh.gov.pl\/Determinants-for-tabacco-cessation-amongst-smokers-visiting-tertiary-health-care,181105,0,2.html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,5]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022]]}},"alternative-id":["181105"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.32394\/pe.76.46","relation":{},"ISSN":["0033-2100","2545-1898"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0033-2100","type":"print"},{"value":"2545-1898","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,5]]}}}
