OBJECTIVE
This study presents the most recent estimates of Australia's national tobacco smoking rates by occupation.
METHODS
Smoking data was extracted from the 2004 to 2005 National Health Survey, which captured approximately 26,000 persons and achieved a response rate of around 90%. Participants were limited to those of working age (18 to 64 years), with data stratified by job category and gender during the analysis.
RESULTS
The prevalence of smoking among Australian workers is estimated to be 25% (28% among males and 21% among females). Tobacco usage is considerably less common among those who are employed compared with the unemployed. By job category, smoking was most common among laborers and the least common among professionals, managers, or administrators.
CONCLUSIONS
Overall, this study suggests that Australian rates of tobacco smoking vary widely depending on occupation. Effective tobacco-control strategies targeting vulnerable sections of the workforce, particularly blue-collar workers, are clearly needed.
目的
本研究呈现了澳大利亚按职业划分的全国吸烟率的最新估计数据。
方法
吸烟数据取自2004年至2005年的全国健康调查，该调查涵盖了约26000人，回应率约为90%。参与者限于工作年龄（18至64岁）人群，分析过程中数据按职业类别和性别分层。
结果
澳大利亚劳动者的吸烟率估计为25%（男性为28%，女性为21%）。与失业者相比，烟草使用在就业者中不太常见。按职业类别来看，吸烟者在体力劳动者中最为常见，而在专业人员、经理或行政人员中最不常见。
结论
总体而言，本研究表明澳大利亚的吸烟率因职业不同而有很大差异。显然需要针对劳动力中的弱势群体，特别是蓝领工人，制定有效的控烟策略。
