This study was aimed to investigate the motivators of smoking in 300 subjects using convenient extraction in one hospital. After informed consent,the survey that consisted of general characteristics, health behavior, stage of change, health behavior-related-perceived benefit, health behavior-related-perceived barrier, health behavior-related-family support, oral health behavior, subjective oral health and others was carried out. The smoking rate was higher in case of male (sex), high school graduates (education) and 2∼3 million Korean won (KRW) (monthly income). The present smokers responded lower oral health behavior (p＜0.001), lower health behavior-related-perceived benefit (p=0.021), higher health behavior- related-perceived barrier (p＜0.001) and lower stage of change (p＜0.001). The oral health related variables were not influenced by smoking. In logistic regression model, odds ratios in smoking were 0.378 in below average (health behavior-related-perceived barrier), 4.746 in below average (stage of change), 12.743 in male (sex) and 3.271 in 2∼3 million KRW (monthly income/standard : over 3 million KRW). It was suggested that oral health related manpower should take account of not only smoking-related oral health but also motivators of smoking as to deliver effective no-smoking program.
