Successful quitting Successful quitting can be defined as having quit smoking 6–12 months ago and remaining abstinent since then. Research has found that approximately 70–80% of smokers who quit for 6–12 months become lifelong ex-smokers (Stapleton 1998). At the time of the survey, approximately 21,800 (0.8%, 0.5–1.1) New Zealanders aged 15–64 years had quit smoking in the past 6–12 months and had remained abstinent. There were no significant differences in the proportions who had successfully quit by sex, age, ethnic group or deprivation. This may be due to the fact that the number of survey respondents who had successfully quit smoking in the past 6–12 months was too small to enable the detection of significant differences. Time trends in successful quitting There was no significant difference between 2006 and 2009 in the age-standardised prevalence of males or females aged 20–64 years in the total population who quit smoking 6–12 months ago and remained abstinent since then. Similarly, there was no significant difference between 2006 and 2009 in the age-standardised prevalence of Māori males or Māori females aged 20–64 years who successfully quit smoking 6–12 months ago (graphs not shown). 50 Tobacco Use in New Zealand
Chapter 8: Use of Quitting Advice or Products There are a number of products available in New Zealand to help people quit smoking. Survey respondents aged 15–64 years were asked to identify any help, advice, programmes or products they used to help them quit during their most recent quit attempt. Their responses were grouped into the following categories: nicotine replacement therapy (nicotine patches, nicotine gum, microtab 9 and nicotine inhalers) other medicinal therapy (lozenges, 10 Zyban 11 and Champix 12 ) the Quitline GP other health care worker (doctor from a hospital, dentist, nurse, pharmacist or midwife) a friend or family member something else (another stop smoking programme, a school counsellor, some other advisor not mentioned elsewhere, the Internet, a texting service, a self-help book, some other product not mentioned elsewhere). Use of any quitting products or advice in most recent quit attempt More than one-third (37.9%, 33.5–42.3) of recent quit attempters used quitting products or advice in their most recent quit attempt. There were no significant differences by sex. 9 Microtab is a sublingual (under the tongue) nicotine replacement tablet. Nicotine is released and absorbed through the lining of the mouth. 10 ‘Lozenges’ were not defined in the NZTUS 2009 questionnaire. Lozenges may or may not include nicotine, and as such have not been included in the nicotine replacement therapy category. 11 Zyban is an antidepressant and smoking cessation aid. It reduces the severity of nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms. 12 Champix is a medicine developed specifically as an aid to smoking cessation. It is a nicotinic receptor partial agonist, and as such reduces cravings for and decreases the pleasurable effects of cigarettes and other tobacco products. Tobacco Use in New Zealand 51
