abstract = {The landscape of smoking cessation may have changed in
Europe recently.To identify changes in use of smoking
cessation assistance in the European Union (EU) and factors
associated with use of cessation assistance.Data from the
2012 (n=9921) and 2017 (n=9489) waves of the Eurobarometer
survey were used. Self-reported use of smoking cessation
assistance was assessed among smokers who had ever tried to
quit and former smokers. Changes in use of each type of
assistance were assessed using logistic regression.Among
current and former smokers, those who had ever attempted to
quit without assistance increased from $70.3\%$ (2012) to
$74.8\%$ (2017). Current smokers were more likely to have
used any assistance compared with former smokers (P<0.001).
Use of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation assistance
increased $(3.7\%$ to $9.7\%)\%),$ while use of
pharmacotherapy $(14.6\%$ to $11.1\%)\%)$ and smoking
cessation services $(7.5\%$ to $5.0\%)\%)$ declined. Younger
people were more likely to have reported e-cigarette use for
smoking cessation but less likely to have used a cessation
service. Individuals living in countries with comprehensive
smoking cessation policies were more likely to have used any
cessation assistance (adjusted OR (aOR)=1.78; $95\% CI$
1.15 to 2.76), pharmacotherapy (aOR=3.44; $95\% CI$ 1.78
to 6.66) and smoking cessation services (aOR=2.27;
$95\% CI$ 1.27 to 4.06) compared with those living in
countries with weak smoking cessation policies.These
findings highlight the need for approaches that ensure that
smokers get support to quit smoking across the EU. The
question of whether the availability of e-cigarettes will
displace other methods, and the impact of such a
displacement, should be closely evaluated.},
