Tobacco smoke is the leading cause of preventable premature mortality worldwide. Smoking tobacco or generally smoking is a learned behavior that gives birth to a physical addiction to nicotine for the greater part of smokers. For that reason, stopping smoking can be hard for many persons, and it is suggested that intercessions incorporate behavioral and pharmacological support. The interventions to terminate smoking are commonly affected by theories of behavior change; including the Trans-theoretical model the Social Cognitive/Learning theory (Frederiksen et al, 1979). Key aspects of the various models include a focus on the importance of motivation, self-efficacy, consideration of barriers and benefits to change, subjective norms, attitudes, and cues to action. This study seeks to explore more on the behavioral techniques to quit smoking. These techniques include the nicotine fading procedure, self- monitoring procedure, the procedure of combining both the nicotine fading procedure and the self-monitoring procedure (Foxx and Brown, 1979).
Numerous studies have been carried out on techniques used in terminating smoking. Through this review we shall draw some conclusions on the topic. Recent literature reviews have constantly …show more content…
Recent studies have explored more on the behavioral techniques to quit smoking. Cigarette smoking, as well as overeating, alcoholism, and sexual deviation, may be viewed as instances in which certain appropriate behaviors are lacking. Self-control behaviors are among the appropriate behaviors often lacking (Ober, 1968). The techniques discussed include the nicotine fading procedure, self- monitoring procedure, the procedure of combining both the nicotine fading procedure and the self-monitoring procedure (Foxx and Brown, 1979). The intervention technique and observation technique are also taken into
