    Background
    

    Prevalence studies have consistently reported higher rates of tobacco use in the South-Eastern parts of Nigeria but little is known about the pattern and factors associated with the intention to quit tobacco use in these parts of the country. The aim of this study was to determine the pattern of tobacco use and intention to quit among residents of Ukpo community of Dunukofia LGA of Anambra State, south eastern Nigeria.

    A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out among 490 residents of Ukpo community selected using a two-stage sampling method. Data was collected using pre-tested interviewer administered questionnaires adapted from Global Adult Tobacco Survey. Odd ratios and 95% confidence intervals were computed and P values of < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

    The results showed that respondents were mostly male 300(61.2%) and aged between 20 and 70 years with a mean of 42.2 ± 15.4 years. Almost half, 210 (42.9%) had ever used smokeless tobacco. For smoked tobacco, only 116(23.7%) have ever used this form. Age ( p<0.0001), male gender (OR 12.78;CI 5.0-31.1; p<0.0001), Persons from the Igbo tribe (p<0.0001) and those with lower educational attainment (p<0.0001) were associated with tobacco use.

    More people 68 (58.6%) are willing to quit use of smoked tobacco than smokeless tobacco 60(28. 6%). Majority of people who tried to quit smokeless tobacco did so without assistance, 52 (24.1%) Others had used counseling at a cessation clinic 50 (23.1 %), nicotine replacement therapy 26 (12.0%). For smokers, some tried to quit with counseling at a cessation clinic 22 (10.2%) .A few had used nicotine replacement therapy 15 (6.9%), while only 6.5% tried to quit without external assistance.

    We recommend programmes to help people who are willing to quit tobacco use and establishment of tobacco cessation clinics to help ensure successful tobacco control in Nigeria.
