AIM – Previous research has concluded that prevalence of smoking, reasons to quit and strategies to become smoke-free vary markedly by gender. Yet we lack a more comprehensive understanding of the process leading to a quit attempt and a positive long-term outcome, and of the gender-specific mechanisms behind successful cessation. My aim is therefore to investigate reasons of smoking and motives, mechanisms and factors of smoking cessation, with special regard to gender differences
