Subtheme 2.2: Curiosity and evaluation of previous quit attempts
Many participants reflected on previous quit attempts, how some had been unsuccessful and described this as a motivation to try integrated treatment to see if it would help them successfully quit smoking. Participants described being curious to see whether quitting smoking would help their mental health and whether it would be possible to do both smoking cessation and mental health therapy at the same time. Many participants described how they had ‘tried a couple of avenues before which haven't worked’ and so thought ‘Why not try another to see if it helps …?’.
