| الوصف: | Background Despite a well-known relation between smoking tobacco and the tuberculosis epidemic, the factors associated with smoking cessation in tuberculosis patients are unclear. This study aims to examine the cascade of smoking cessation and the factors associated with persistent smoking among tuberculosis patients. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study enrolling adult patients with pulmonary tuberculosis between 2016 and 2019 in the Republic of Korea. We examined the smoking status at baseline, followed the current smokers, re-examined their smoking status after 6 months of anti-tuberculosis treatment, and identified the factors associated with persistent smoking. Results Of the 419 enrolled patients, 109 (26.0%) were current smokers at baseline. Of the 79 current smokers who completed the 6-month survey, 24 (30.4%) succeeded in quitting smoking after 6 months of treatment. The adjusted odds ratio for persistent smoking was 6.57 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.76–27.83) for drinking and 0.15 (95% CI, 0.03–0.68) for diabetes comorbidity. Conclusion Drinking alcohol and diabetes comorbidity were important factors in smoking cessation. Only one third of the tuberculosis patients in our study cohort succeeded in quitting smoking during the 6-month treatment period. More aggressive interventions for smoking cessation should be adopted within the national anti-tuberculosis program. |
