Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the smoking cessation tendencies of people with different levels of smoking addiction during the COVID-19 epidemic process and to investigate the variables that most affect the risk perception of being Covid-19. Data were collected between November 8 and December 20 2021. A total of 898 participants living in the Turkey aged 18 years or older were recruited from Google online form panel. In general, it can be said that the higher the education level and the higher the income, the better the people adapt to the epidemic conditions. During the epidemic, it is seen that people generally (88.2%) get the news about the process from official sources. It is seen that the participants trust the ministry of health and the scientific committee at a rate of 67.1% in the epidemic management. It is possible that those who have chronic diseases and are addicted to cigarettes will experience the COVID-19 process more heavily. However, in this study, it could not be said that those who have a chronic disease and are addicted to smoking are more inclined to quit smoking.
