According to a study titled "Smoking Cessation Aids and Strategies: A Population Survey of Former and Current Smokers in Norway," smokers tend to choose from various smoking cessation aids and strategies during their quitting process.
Smoking rates in Norway have decreased from 30% in 2001 to 12% in 2018. Tobacco consumption in the country is divided into combustible products (cigarettes) and non-combustible products (oral tobacco).
The research team conducted a cross-sectional study in Norway in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. The analyzed sample consisted of adult smokers who were grouped according to the number of times they attempted to quit smoking.
A study has shown that among daily smokers, 56% reported using smoking cessation aids, with electronic cigarettes and nicotine mouth sprays being the most popular types. Interestingly, smokers who use nicotine mouth sprays are less likely to use other nicotine replacement therapies. In fact, using mouth sprays and having a support system through online communities and mobile apps are associated with increased success in quitting smoking, while using NRT is linked to failed attempts to quit. When looking at individual aids and combined use of aids, only nicotine mouth sprays were found to be directly linked to successful smoking cessation.
Researchers also found that smokers who use Snus often do not use other smoking cessation aids. "It was discovered that using Snus is an "independent" smoking cessation aid, with only weak associations with the use of other aids. Further investigation is needed into preferences for smoking cessation aids, especially among smokers who have little or no access to healthcare and/or find traditional cessation aids unappealing.
