The motivational factors for smoking behaviors varied according to the smoking status of adults with metabolic syndrome. Autonomous motivation was the significant predictor of smoking cessation for individuals who successfully quit, whereas cognitive motivation was influential in the prevention of smoking by individuals who have never smoked. Further studies are warranted to develop smoking cessation strategies, which should focus on specific motivational factors to lead effective smoking prevention programs in this population.
