Abstract
This report presents survey data on smoking cessation in seven Western industrialized countries. The percentages of former smokers increased in most cases during the 1970s. Cessation rates are generally slightly higher among males than among females, but changes of cessation rates by gender differ by country. Cessation rates are generally lower among lower educated than among higher educated people, but the changes differ by country. These findings appear to cast doubt on the policy that women and the lower educated should be special target groups in anti-smoking campaigns in every country.
