Factors and reasons for planning to quit smoking among a nationally representative sample of adults who smoke: Findings from the 2021 ITC EUREST-PLUS Spain Survey
Only13% of adults from Spain who smoke intend to quit in the next 6 months. Factors associated with quitting were high income, at least one quit attempt in the past year, worrying about health damage from smoking, regretting starting to smoke, having health concerns, and smoking restrictions in public places. There is a need for comprehensive measures that encourage and support people to quit.
