INTRODUCTION: @entity286 use increases the risk of mortality, @entity5 and @entity65 in transplanted @entity1 . Transplanted @entity1 are encouraged to quit @entity286 use before and after renal transplantation. This study was carried out to evaluate the prevalence of @entity286 consumption in transplanted @entity1 in one French region. This survey was also conducted to identify factors associated with failure in smoking cessation. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A questionnaire was sent by mail to transplanted @entity1 followed in our center between the 1/01/95 and the 31/12/10. A second mail was sent to increase the response rate. RESULTS: During the study period, 544  questionnaires were sent to kidney transplant recipients. Among these 544  @entity1 , there were 362  responders. Of these 362  @entity1 , 121  @entity1 (33.4%) were past smokers, and 21 (5.8%) were active smokers. Among the smokers, 20% were exposed to second-hand smoke, 48% had criteria for @entity286 moderate to high dependency, and 13.4% were addicted to @entity285 . In the multivariate analysis, exposure to second-hand smoke and living alone at home were associated with failure in smoking cessation. CONCLUSION: This study shows that the prevalence of @entity286 use is not high in transplanted @entity1 . Only 6% of our @entity1 report @entity286 use at the study time. Environmental factors are associated with failure in @entity286 cessation. Living alone and exposure to second-hand smoke are associated with smoking. Therefore, in transplantation centers, programs devoted to @entity286 cessation should be implemented and should take care of @entity1 ' lifestyle.
