Abstract

Nondaily intermittent smokers (ITS) are common, but their cessation behavior remains elusive. We examined cessation of native-ITS (n=2040), converted-ITS (n=1808), and daily smokers (DS; n=25344). All ITS were more likely than were DS to make a quit attempt (native-ITS adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=1.60, 95% confidence interval [CI] =1.42, 1.80; converted-ITS AOR=3.33, 95% CI=2.93, 3.78). Native-ITS (18%) and converted-ITS (27%) were more likely than were DS (13%) to quit smoking (native-ITS AOR=1.34, 95% CI=1.07, 1.67; converted-ITS AOR =2.36, 95% CI=2.01, 2.78), but the low cessation rates of ITS challenge their nonaddicted status.
