Background.
Adolescents frequently attempt smoking cessation but are unable to maintain long term abstinence because they are dependent on nicotine and experience withdrawal symptoms.
Objectives.
This study aimed to explore the quitting attempts among adolescent smokers in Dharan Municipality of Eastern Nepal.
Methods.
A cross-sectional study was conducted using pretested self-administered questionnaire adapted from Global Youth Tobacco Survey to assess current smokers and quitting attempts among 1312 adolescent students in middle (14-15 years) and late adolescence (16–19 years).
Chi square test was used for association of various factors with quitting attempts.
Results.
The prevalence of current smoking was 13.7%.
Among the current smokers, 66.5% had attempted to quit in the past because they believed smoking was harmful to health (35.5%).
The median duration of quitting was 150 days.
Nearly 8% of the current smokers were unwilling to quit in the future because they thought it is already a habit (60%).
Smokers who are willing to quit smoking in the future were more likely to have made quitting attempts (OR = 1.36, 95% CI = 0.40–4.45).
Conclusion.
Relapse often occurs even after multiple quitting attempts.
Tobacco focused interventions to support abstinence are important during adolescence to prevent habituation.
