Abstract
•Smoker identities have been proposed to influence the success of quit attempts.•Prospective associations were assessed in a representative sample of ex-smokers.•The majority of people who quit in the past year consider themselves as non-smokers.•Younger age and longer abstinence associated with a post-quit non-smoker identity.•Adopting a non-smoker identity after quitting can predict medium-term abstinence.
