Many studies have described the characteristics of defaulters and reasons on how they quit but reasons and experiences on ex-smokers who managed to stopped smoking not yet explored. Objectives: This study explored the reasons and factors that lead to the successful quit attempts by ex-smokers together with the pharmacists' opinion on smoking cessation programmes in community pharmacies.

Semi­ structured interviews were conducted and all face-to-face interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. For those who respond through facebook chat, the online conversation was saved. The transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Strong will power and determination are the main factors which forces smokers to stop. However, there are few other reasons such as health-related problems, financial constrain and negative perceptions of society towards smokers which strengthened their intention to quit permanently. In addition managing cigarette cravings are important to ensure smoking abstinence among ex-smokers.
