- Abstract
Traditionally, smokers have been encouraged to prepare for cessation in advance of a preset quit date, with the expectation that preparation would improve their chance of success. However, a recent survey of U.K. smokers found that a substantial proportion of attempts involved no preplanning and that these spontaneous attempts were actually more likely to succeed. We set out to explore further the nature of unplanned quit attempts among U.S. smokers.
