<abstract><p>Smoking has gradually become a very common behavior, and the related situation in different groups also presents different forms. Due to the differences of individual smoking cessation time and the interference of environmental factors in the spread of smoking behavior, we establish a stochastic giving up smoking model with quit-smoking duration. We also consider the saturated incidence rate. The total population is composed of potential smokers, smokers, quitters and removed. By using Itô's formula and constructing appropriate Lyapunov functions, we first ensure the existence of a unique global positive solution of the stochastic model. In addition, a threshold condition for extinction and permanence of smoking behavior is deduced. If the intensity of white noise is small, and $ \widetilde{\mathcal{R}}_0 < 1 $, smokers will eventually become extinct. If $ \widetilde{\mathcal{R}}_0 > 1 $, smoking will last. Then, the sufficient condition for the existence of a unique stationary distribution of the smoking phenomenon is studied as $ R_0^s > 1 $. Finally, conclusions are explained by numerical simulations.</p></abstract>
