OBJECTIVE The study aimed to assess the socio-demographic and other correlates of cessation behavior across tobacco products among the adult population in India. METHODS We used data of adults (aged ≥15 years) who were current or former tobacco users (smoking and/or smokeless tobacco) from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) India, conducted during 2016-17. The detailed analysis was done for current daily smokers (N=7,647), former daily smokers (N=1,353), and current daily smokeless tobacco users (N=1,2721). Multivariate logistic regression was separately performed to find the associated factors with attempts to quit, successful quitting, different cessation methods of smoking, and smokeless tobacco use. RESULTS The findings of the study indicated that daily smokers, higher educated, urban residents and employed were more likely to quit smoking compared to their counterparts. Successful quitting of smoking was higher for employed, higher educated, current users of smokeless tobacco and older adults.  For smokeless tobacco users, non-daily users, highly educated, urban residents, and employed were more likely to attempt to quit compared to their counterparts. Successful quitting of smokeless tobacco was higher for unemployed, highly educated, urban residents and current non-smokers, and higher age group adults. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study suggest a need for professionally channelized cessation interventions to reduce the prevalence and relapse of tobacco use and increase the quit rate. Well-designed, large-scale research into specific tobacco cessation methods is needed to establish the association between different tobacco cessation methods and increased quit rates.
