Abstract
Understanding the reasons smokers have for not wanting to quit could help develop effective interventions. We developed a measure for smokers that assesses reasons for not quitting. Analyses supported a reliable and valid scale with 6 factors: addiction, affect, instrumental use, external barriers, internal barriers and perceived risk.
