A theory presents an inclusive framework for discussing how and why several variables may be interrelated. Formal theoretical models are developed and used to inform smoking cessation interventions. The current study seeks to review theoretical models of smoking cessation, including both established tobacco methods and methods informed from other addictions and academic disciplines. A literature search of several online databases was completed to determine the most frequently used theories and to identify gaps in the literature as avenues for future research.
