Predictors of smoking abstinence at end of treatment (12 weeks) include younger age at the time of the quit attempt, being married at the time of study participation (and quit attempt), less severe tobacco dependence based on lower FTND scores, fewer past smoking quit attempts, using bupropion (either alone or in combination with inhaler), and being white. Demographics of the study population indicate that at the time of enrollment, minority subjects enrolled in this study were more likely to be older and less likely to be married. Minority smokers enrolled in our program also reported being older when they started smoking and smoking fewer cigarettes per day at time of study enrollment.
