    This study found that group therapy, individual counseling, and hypnosis had similar success rates for smoking cessation, around 20% after one year. Smoker demographics influenced method choice, impacting treatment program design.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Science
    • Public Health
    • Addiction Medicine

    Background:

    • Smoking cessation remains a significant public health challenge.
    • Effective and accessible interventions are crucial for reducing smoking rates.
    • Understanding patient preferences and demographic influences on treatment selection is key.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the one-year efficacy of three smoking cessation methods: group therapy, individual counseling, and hypnosis.
    • To explore demographic factors influencing the choice of smoking cessation method among participants.
    • To inform the design of optimized smoking cessation programs.

    Main Methods:

    • 571 smokers self-selected one of three cessation methods: group therapy, individual counseling, or hypnosis.

  • One-year follow-up data were collected to assess smoking cessation success rates.
  • Demographic data (age, education level) were analyzed in relation to method choice.

    • Main Results:

    • All three methods demonstrated comparable average success rates of approximately 20% after one year.
    • Demographic factors significantly influenced method selection: younger, educated smokers preferred hypnosis; older, educated smokers preferred group therapy; older, less-educated smokers preferred individual counseling.
    • Youngest, less-educated smokers tended not to participate in therapy.

    Conclusions:

    • Group therapy, individual counseling, and hypnosis show similar efficacy for smoking cessation.
    • Tailoring treatment programs to demographic preferences can enhance participation and potentially effectiveness.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms of verbal therapies in smoking cessation.
