Associations between non-daily smoking and motivation to stop smoking: A population study in England 2021-2024.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimsAn increasing proportion of adults in England who smoke cigarettes do not smoke every day and may see quitting smoking as less important than those who smoke daily. This study aimed to examine whether motivation to stop smoking differs between those who smoke cigarettes daily vs. non-daily, and to explore differences in this association by relevant sociodemographic, smoking and vaping-related factors. DESIGN AND
settingObservational study using data drawn from the Smoking Toolkit Study, a representative cross-sectional survey in England, 2021-2024.
participants13 277 cigarette smokers (≥16 y). MEASURES: Outcome variables were level of motivation to stop smoking (Motivation to Stop Scale), analysed as a 7-level ordinal variable and dichotomised to assess (1) no desire to stop smoking and (2) high motivation to stop smoking. The exposure variable was daily vs. non-daily smoking. Covariates and potential moderators were age, gender, socioeconomic position, presence of children in the household, strength of urges to smoke, vaping status, harm perceptions of e-cigarettes vs. cigarettes and survey year.
resultsNon-daily (vs. daily) smoking was associated with greater motivation to stop smoking [adjusted odds ratio (OR
conclusionsIn England, adults who smoke cigarettes non-daily appear to tend to be more motivated to quit smoking than those who smoke every day, especially among older and less advantaged people.
