Background: Currently in developed countries there is an increase in the consumption of roll your own tobacco, which is associated with a higher proportion of users of this form of tobacco who wish to make an attempt to quit. The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of tobacco cessation interventions based on the type of tobacco consumed.
Methods: Longitudinal study of a cohort of 641 smokers recruited between 2015 and 2018 in a health area of Galicia included in smoking cessation programs, based on psychological counseling and pharmacological treatment. The characteristics and success of the intervention were evaluated in two groups: roll your own tobacco smokers (RYO) and manufactured tobacco smokers (MT). A logistic regression was performed to determine the probability of success in smoking cessation. The risk measure was the odds ratio (OR) with its 95%
confidence interval.
Results: RYO users started at a younger age and had a lower sociocultural stratum than MT users. Interventions to quit smoking in RYO users were associated with less abstinence at 4 weeks (52% MT vs 38% LT) (OR: 0.5; 95% CI 0.35-0.99; p=0.045;) and at 3 months (42% TM vs 30% TL) (OR:0.6; 95% CI 0.33-0.98; p=0.04).
Conclusions: Smoking cessation programs are less effective in short-term RYO users. There are no differences in long-term abstinence between the two groups.
