Zusammenfassung:This article discusses three broad topics: (a) how beliefs about weight control influence smoking initiation and how preventive interventions might affect these beliefs, (b) whether weight gain affects smoking cessation and relapse, and (c) what primary gaps in our information still remain. Beliefs and behaviors relating to weight and their consequences were addressed within the contexts of smoking initiation, maintenance, cessation, and relapse. Special populations, application and evaluation of alternative interventions, and assessment of compliance were considered. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
