DISCUSSION

In this research, there is a significant correlation between age with the plan to quit
smoking, this is in accordance with the research conducted by yong kang ceah,
that the older one's age will be high awareness and the importance of health (Yong
Kang Ceah, 2012).

The job factor as described by Natalie's research indicates that job stress will
increase a person's desire to smoke (Natalie, 2013). But it doesnt mean that
people who dont work dont experience stress. Based on research conducted by
Vogli, people who do not work then tend to feel the level of stress and there will
be a tendency to smoke to cope with the stress experienced.

Education has an important role in smoking cessation in which a person with a

low level of education doesnt have enough consideration about the risk of
smoking against himself and the surrounding environment. People with higher
education will be more interested in information about health that will increase the
desire and readiness to change the smoking behavior (Stoklosa, A.2010).

Knowledge is the thing that can give influence to someone where if someone
knowledge is high to danger of smoking then it will be easier to stop the
dangerous habit (Stoklosa, 2010). While in this research found most people have
low knowledge level.

It is also mentioned that most smokers will quit smoking when many other
smokers are reported to have heart problems or other illness (Kaleta, et al.2012).

People in Bawang village mostly have low socioeconomic levels but this may not
be related to smoking cessation behavior due to internal and external factors of
someone stronger motivating to smoke, the younger the age of starting to smoke
the higher the incidence of dependence and being a long-term smoker .

Smoking is almost the same age as smoking. The longer exposed by cigarettes the
higher the level of dependence on nicotine which will determine success in the
effort to stop smoking (Firzawati, 2015).

Pause of smoking after waking in the morning can also represent the level of
nicotine dependence. In the results of research Hymowitz et al, smokers who have
tried to stop long-term smoking are smokers who pause smoking longer.

Restrictions on smoking in the home as well as encouragement and

recommendation of family members and advice to stop smoking from health
workers can be a reason to quit smoking.

Smokers should be more likely to intervene in smoking hazard information in

order to increase their desire to quit smoking because of the results of Babatunde
(2012) research that smokers who know that smoking will create health problems
will decide to prepare to quit smoking.

Presence of health warnings on cigarette packs is one of the most effective media
to provide health messages directly to smokers to increase the sense of concern
about the risk of smoking on health that is directly related to increased desire to
quit smoking (Charlotte, H., & Mitchel, M. 2009 ).

Exposure to cigarette advertisements is not related to the desire to quit smoking.

Dissertation Research conducted by Firzawati in 2015, with P-Value 0,001 shows
the results that support the respondents who dont get and dont know about the
promotion of cigarettes and cigarette sponsors have a greater chance of trying to
stop smoking both long and short term compared to respondents who get the
promotion of cigarettes and cigarette sponsor (Firzawati, 2015).
