Association between successful smoking cessation and preferred smoking time.

Introduction: We examined the relationship between preferred daily smoking times and typical situations in which smoking occurs and aimed to determine the association between successful smoking cessation and preferred smoking time.

Methods: We conducted an internet survey and categorized participants based on their selected smoking status: 'successful smoking cessation', 'failed smoking cessation', or 'currently smoking'. Ultimately, 3637 people (1854 men, 1789 women) aged 30-59 years were included in the study.
