Krutzinna is part of a growing trend of 'climate quitters': workers walking out on companies whose environmental policies are at odds with their own values. According to research by carbon removal marketplace Supercritical, 35% of the 2,000 UK office workers surveyed said they were willing to quit their jobs over weak climate action from their employers, with the figure increasing to 53% for Gen Z employees.

Six quitters, from six countries. Why did they decide to quit tobacco? Recovering from COVID-19, pursuing a career in medicine or quitting to be a better self for a loved one? Follow their journey as they try to quit tobacco for good.

Many quiet quitters fit Gallup's definition of being "not engaged" at work -- people who do the minimum required and are psychologically detached from their job. This describes half of the U.S. workforce.

Everyone else is either engaged (32%) or actively disengaged (18%). The latter are "loud quitters." Actively disengaged employees tend to have most of their workplace needs unmet and spread their dissatisfaction -- they have been the most vocal in TikTok posts that have generated millions of views and comments.

Managers should treat quiet quitters as individuals who are trying their best and who deserve some respect for that effort. Instead of punishing them (or even pressuring them), managers should focus on creating an environment where employees feel safe enough to set boundaries around their work and personal lives without worrying about being judged or punished by their boss. - Willena Long, Career Boss Academy

In this systematic review, we conducted two types of analyses (narrative synthesis and meta-analysis), to compare two groups of populations (smoker vs. non-smokers and smokers vs. quitters), on three types of outcomes (HbA1c, lipid profiles and blood pressure). In addition, we also conducted meta-regression analysis to explore the association between study effect size and study level covariates such as age, gender, whether the participants were adults or adolescents, types of diabetes, study design and duration of smoking.

For smokers and quitters, only 4 out of 5 studies could be used for meta-analysis for the outcome of HbA1c. There was not enough data to pool the results for lipid profile and blood pressure for meta-analysis in this comparison groups. Full details of the study characteristics are summarised in Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4. Meta-regression data and results are shown in Tables 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.

To compare the outcomes of HbA1c, lipid profiles and blood pressure between smokers and quitters, 5 studies (n = 13,750) (3 cross-sectional, 1 prospective and 1 retrospective design) were analysed. 63.32% of the study participants were continued smokers and 35.06% were quitters. 4 out of 5 studies specified the sex of the study population. In the continued smokers group 57.44% were male and 42.56% were female. In the quitter group, 59.83% were male and 40.17% were female. 97% of the study participants had T2DM and 3% had T1DM.

On the other hand, the improvement in the lipid profile is almost instantaneous after quitting. As early as 3 weeks after quitting, the HDL cholesterol showed a trend to rise in quitters compared to continued smokers. There were insufficient data to make any comments about the outcome of blood pressure following quitting. Meta-analysis was only possible for the outcome of HbA1c between continued smokers and quitters.

This review did not identify any statistically significant difference in HbA1c between smokers and quitters. The precise effect-size of quitting on lipid profiles and blood pressure could not be accurately delineated, as it was not possible to carry out the meta-analysis due to inadequate number of studies with available data. Conversely, this review did not show the expected reduction in HbA1c after smoking cessation despite overwhelming evidence that the insulin resistance improves after smoking cessation [28, 29].

The major weakness of this review is that it is carried out on observational studies and no temporal relationship can be established. Due to the heterogeneity of study populations, the findings cannot be generalised. The outcome of quitting for less than 12-months is unknown, as this study did not include quitters of less than 12-month duration of abstinence. Despite the outlined weaknesses, this is the first systematic review on this subject, which can be used as a useful tool to raise awareness about the current evidence on this topic of immense public health importance.

This study examined differences between successful (n = 87) and unsuccessful (n = 78) cannabis quitters. Participants completed a questionnaire addressing demographic, mental health, and cannabis-related variables, as well as quitting strategies during their most recent quit attempt.

Eighteen strategies derived from cognitive behavioral therapy were entered into a principal components analysis. The analysis yielded four components, representing (1) Stimulus Removal, (2) Motivation Enhancement, (3) (lack of) Distraction, and (4) (lack of) Coping. Between groups comparisons showed that unsuccessful quitters scored significantly higher on Motivation Enhancement and (lack of) Coping. This may indicate that unsuccessful quitters focus on the desire to quit, but do not sufficiently plan strategies for coping. Unsuccessful quitters also had significantly more symptoms of depression and stress; less education; lower exposure to formal treatment; higher day-to-day exposure to other cannabis users; and higher cannabis dependence scores.

Identification of differences between successful and unsuccessful cannabis quitters potentially could improve interventions so that individuals more strongly oriented for relapse (or unable to quit for even short durations) might be better helped. In order to identify which individuals may be at greatest risk for relapse and what techniques may be most effective for achieving abstinence, an online survey was developed to compare the characteristics, as well as quitting strategies, of former regular cannabis users who had been abstinent for at least a year with current regular cannabis users who had made at least one unsuccessful attempt to quit. Research hypotheses were formulated based on the premise that the findings discussed above in relation to cannabis use cessation would extend to a sample of cannabis users who have not previously been studied in this context (i.e., frequent cannabis users who succeeded versus failed at a quit attempt within a community setting). The first hypothesis proposed that demographic variables commonly found to predict continued cannabis use would be associated with unsuccessful quitting in the current sample. These included younger age, being unmarried, having less education, and being male. Similarly, several cannabis-related variables were hypothesized to be associated with unsuccessful quitting, including having a higher degree of use and dependence, and having higher exposure to other cannabis users (Hypothesis 2). Based on the treatment study findings of Litt et al. [5], Hypothesis 3 predicted that successful quitters would report significantly higher use of cognitive-behavioral and motivational enhancement strategies than unsuccessful quitters. Finally, Hypothesis 4 predicted that unsuccessful quitters would report higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress than would successful quitters.

previously used cannabis at least once a week for at least a year, but had not used any cannabis in the last year, or (b) currently used cannabis at least once a week and had made at least one unsuccessful attempt to quit. Eighty-eight successful and 82 unsuccessful Australian cannabis quitters were recruited through newspaper and online advertising (e.g., forums, Google advertising) from May 2009 to January 2010.

Hypothesis 3 predicted that successful quitters would use CBT and MI-related quitting strategies to a higher degree than would unsuccessful quitters. To test this hypothesis, successful and unsuccessful quitters were compared on the four CBT/MI components derived from the factor analysis, as well as the behavioral and experiential subscales of the Processes of Change measure, using MANOVA. The MANOVA was significant, F (6,158) = 3.30, p < .01; however, follow-up univariate tests only partially supported the hypothesis. While successful quitters scored significantly lower on (lack of) Coping, indicating they used significantly more coping strategies, they also scored significantly lower on Motivation Enhancement, indicating they used significantly fewer motivation enhancement strategies than did unsuccessful quitters. Other tests of univariate effects were non-significant (see Table 5).

The final hypothesis predicted that unsuccessful quitters would report significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress. A second MANOVA was conducted to test this hypothesis. The MANOVA was significant, F (3, 161) = 4.27, p < .01, and univariate tests indicated partial support of the hypothesis, with unsuccessful quitters reporting significantly higher levels of depression and stress, but not anxiety, although the effect for anxiety was in the hypothesized direction. Table 5 provides details of the analysis.

Inconsistent with previous research [10, 18], being unmarried, younger, and male were not significantly associated with unsuccessful quitting. However, around 30% of successful quitters were married compared with around 23% of non-quitters, suggesting a trend in the expected direction. The lack of effect for age may be due to the positive correlation between age and levels of cannabis use and dependence, which would likely counteract any relationship between older age and ability to quit. While the lack of effect for gender is inconsistent with previous research on cannabis use cessation, this is the first study to explicitly compare successful and unsuccessful cannabis quitters in a community setting. Studies focusing on tobacco quitting within a community setting have found some evidence that males are more likely to succeed at quit attempts than are females [40]. Therefore, individuals attempting to quit cannabis in a community setting may differ from treatment samples. Future studies could further explore this possibility. e24fc04721
