Answer to Question 1

Answer: Enabling factors are the skills, assets, capacities, and resources someone has at his/her disposal to assist with making a lasting change to behavior. To quit smoking, individual enabling factors might include self-motivation and willpower as well as the understanding of physiology and requirements of physical exercise needed for successful weaning of tobacco. Social factors also figure prominently in one's struggle to quit smoking as peer pressures and social cues are strong enticements to keep smoking. Keeping company with non-smokers in smoke-free environments would be examples of positive factors along social and environmental lines. Also important is the knowledge of what to expect as the body is detoxifying from nicotine, and ideas about how to effectively combat unavoidable cravings.
