Intención o deseo: tabaquismo como adicción que afecta el desarrollo humano

Abstract

The aim is to know the motives as intention and desire as action to stop smoking. A qualitative ethnomethodological research was carried out with 100 adults, men and women, over 18 years of age and under 85 years of age, who attend a health service. The data were collected through a response protocol with 112 questions. The different scholars on the subject refer to the importance of studying the differences between the intention to quit smoking and desire as an action to quit smoking; The results show that the people in the group of desire as an action to stop smoking are single, young and without work; while in the group of intention they are married, older in age and with paid work, in addition to presenting anxiety and depression. The proposal indicates that radical intervention measures are required in the groups of initiation in early ages in the consumption of tobacco.
