ABSTRACT

Objective. To analyze motivation, quit attempts, and smoking cessation using data from the National Survey on Drug, Alcohol, and Tobacco Use 2025. Materials and methods. Descriptive analyses and seven multivariable logistic regression models were conducted to identify factors associated with smoking cessation. Results. Among current smokers (n= 2 624), 72.17% reported motivation to quit and 47.8% had made at least one quit attempt (last year). Among former smokers (n= 2 668), 47.23% had maintained abstinence for 0 to 5 years and 52.7% for more than five years; 11.4% received brief advice, 1.9% contacted the national quitline (línea de la vida), and 4.2% received pharmacological treatment. In the multivariable models, female sex and exposure to health warnings were associated with higher motivation and quit attempts. For cessation, being female, older age, and occasional smoking increased the likelihood of quitting, whereas heavy alcohol use and exposure to secondhand smoke in private settings reduced it. Conclusions. Strengthening gender-sensitive interventions is essential, as well as reducing alcohol use and secondhand smoke exposure, and increasing healthcare providers’ involvement in delivering brief advice and pharmacological treatment.
