title: The age of stopping smoking: the Spanish example.
abstract: In this study we analysed the average age at which smokers in Spain seek treatment. The sample of 485 smokers who sought to participate in a smoking cessation program by mail had a mean age of 37.5 yr, and the mean reported number of cigarettes smoked per day was 26.3. Subjects' age was significantly associated with gender, marital status, and the number of cigarettes smoked before treatment.
