This report presents a research investigation into smoking habits, specifically examining the influence of age and gender on smoking patterns and cessation attempts. The study begins with a literature review exploring the background of smoking as a public health issue, the impacts of smoking, and existing research on smoking initiation and behavior. The methodology section details the primary research approach, including the development and administration of a questionnaire to a sample of 50 respondents, employing snowball sampling. The report then presents the results, including frequency distributions and cross-tabulations analyzed using SPSS, to assess the relationships between variables such as age, gender, and smoking habits. The findings and discussion section interprets the statistical results, followed by a critical evaluation of the research methodology. The report concludes with recommendations for future research. The study reveals that gender has no impact on the effort of trying to quit smoking, the difference in cross tabulation is a mere coincidence. Also, there is no influence of specific gender on the number of cigarettes an individual smokes per day, as well as no association between gender of an individual and the years of their smoking addiction.
