The aim of the study was to evaluate factors that could predict smoking cessation after a minimal antismoking counseling during spirometric screening for COPD. Every subject filled-in a simple questionnaire on clinical signs of COPD and tobacco habit, had a spirometry performed according to ATS standards and received a short antitobacco counseling together with a booklet on how to quit smoking. Out of 800 smokers over 40 years of age, smoking history of more than 10 packyears, screened for COPD in 1999, four hundred were invited a year later for a follow-up spirometry and evaluation of anti-smoking intervention. Of 383 patients, who responded to the invitation (208 M and 175 F, mean age 56.6 +/- 10.7 yrs), 52 (13.6%) quit smoking for one year and another 48 (12.5%) quit smoking temporarily and than resumed smoking. Smokers who permanently succeeded in quitting smoking were older (60.5 vs 55.9 years p < 0.01), started smoking later (age at starting smoking 22 vs 19.5 years p < 0.001), had a shorter tobacco exposition (28.8 vs 34.3 packyears p < 0.05), had lower lung function (FEV1%pred 80.5 vs 89.2% p < 0.05) and were less nicotine dependent (FTQ score 1 vs 4.8 p < 0.00001).
