Purpose: This study assessed smoking-cessation stages of change using the Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM) and identified smoking cessation-related factors. Methods: Using a cross-sectional descriptive study, a convenience sample of 216 male construction workers answered a self-administered questionnaire including demographics, the Champion’s Health Belief Model Scale, and questions on the smoking-cessation stages of change through the PAPM. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, x test, t-test, Fisher‘s exact test, and logistic regression. Results: The distribution of the PAPM stages of change in smoking-cessation was as follows: 9.7% unengaged, 32.4% engaged and deciding to quit smoking, 1.9% deciding not to quit smoking, 16.7% deciding to quit smoking, 8.3% acting, and 31.0% maintaining. The health beliefs related to smoking cessation indicated mean scores of susceptibility, seriousness, benefits, barriers, confidence, and health motivation of 2.23±0.88, 3.23±0.86, 3.41±0.88, 2.57±0.72, 3.37±0.77, and 3.45±0.64, respectively. The significant predictors of smoking cessation were smoking banned at home (OR=2.61, 95% CI: 1.37~5.00), susceptibility (OR=0.60, 95% CI: 0.40~0.89), and confidence (OR=2.05, 95% CI: 1.29~3.27). Conclusion: The findings indicated that, to increase the rate of successful smoking cessation, it is necessary to forbid smoking at home and to implement smoking-cessation programs compatible with the smoking-cessation stages of change.
