Description
Pelin Duru Çetinkaya and nine co-workers wrote a 2023 study on quit-smoking success in patients aged sixty and over in Turkey. Quitting late still cuts death risk from heart attack, stroke and cancer. Six stop-smoking clinics in four provinces fed the records. More than nine hundred older patients were reached after treatment.
Quit rates slid from just under half at one month to about three in ten at one year. Men quit at higher rates than women by the end. The authors note the one-year rate matches that of younger adults. They argue clinics should press harder to offer treatment to older smokers.
