Brief description/objective

The rate of relapse in smokers attempting to quit is generally high. In order to maximize the chances of success, it is of interest to better understand the dynamic of lapse and relapse during smoking cessation. We hypothesized that specific behavioral patterns in tobacco consumption could predict the probability of quitting success and could open the possibility for a more targeted approach. The aim of the current study was to characterize clusters of quitting trajectories among participants involved in a smoking cessation program.
