Sociodemographic, health-related, and external determinants of quit attempts among adult tobacco users: A cross-sectional study using a nationally representative sample in Oman

This study indicates a socioeconomic disparity in quit attempts, with higher rates observed among older adults, individuals with higher level of education, employed individuals, and those with higher monthly income. Quit advice provided by healthcare professionals was significantly associated with more quit attempts. These results highlight the importance of national-level coordination and monitoring to enhance the effectiveness of tobacco cessation program as part of comprehensive multi-sectoral tobacco control efforts. Further research is warranted to explore the broader determinants of quit attempts in Oman.
