Smoking Cessation Treatment Outcomes Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic in People With and Without Mental Health Disorders

Smoking cessation rates were similar before and during the pandemic, regardless of mental health status, and the increased use of telematic visits could be considered after the pandemic era. Older age was only associated with abstinence during the pandemic, highlighting the need for research on improving outcomes in younger populations undergoing treatment during stressful times. Identifying modifiable variables associated with abstinence can help smoking cessation services implement strategies to prevent relapse.

Abstract

Smoking cessation rates were similar before and during the pandemic, regardless of mental health status, and the increased use of telematic visits could be considered after the pandemic era. Older age was only associated with abstinence during the pandemic, highlighting the need for research on improving outcomes in younger populations undergoing treatment during stressful times. Identifying modifiable variables associated with abstinence can help smoking cessation services implement strategies to prevent relapse.
