The study goals were: firstly, to determine the role of non-specific cognitive components (e.g. health locus of control) and health behaviors in successive stages of the smoking cessation process; and secondly, to establish the pattern of health behaviors important for the process outcome. A two group quasi-experimental design with a baseline measurement and repeated follow-ups was used. In the experimental group a 3-month smoking cessation program was implemented. Results indicate that the reaching of the action stage was determined by characteristics of nicotine dependence, while the maintenance stage – by health-related beliefs and by objective health indices. In the maintenance stage a significant behavior change was noted in two areas: of diet and medical check-ups.
