Abstrakt:	OBJECTIVES: This paper examines differences between joiners and nonjoiners of a voluntary smokers' registry. METHODS: A baseline prevalence survey was used to identify characteristics of smokers who joined or did not join a smokers' registry. RESULTS: Communities varied significantly in registry enrollment rates. Heavy-smoking joiners expressed more desire to quit, were more likely to live with nonsmokers, and were older than nonjoiners. Light-to-moderate joiners smoked more, were more addicted to cigarettes, and expressed more desire to quit than nonjoiners. CONCLUSIONS: Few baseline characteristics differentiated joiners from nonjoiners. Nonjoiners were significantly more likely to achieve cessation than joiners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
