[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS HEHGR0xl. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. We compared smoking quit rates by age in a nationally representative sample to determine differences in cessation rates among younger and older adults. Methods. We used data on recent dependent smokers aged 18 to 64 years from the 2003 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey (n=31 625). Results. Young adults (aged 18-24 years) were more likely than were older adults (aged 35-64 years) to report having seriously tried to quit (84% vs 66%, P<. and to have quit for months or longer vs p among those who seriously tried a smoke-free home was associated with quitting ratio confidence interval compared older smokers young adults were more likely homes less use pharmaceutical aids smoked fewer cigarettes per day conclusions. than smoking successfully. this could be explained partly by widespread interest in higher prevalence of lower levels dependence. high cessation rates may also reflect changing social norms.>
