We sought to establish the prevalence of physical activity among smokers, whether or not physically active smokers were more likely to attempt cessation, and who these physically active smokers were.
We used logistic regression to contrast physically active and inactive smokers in a secondary data analysis of the Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 1.1.
Physically active smokers represented almost one quarter of the smoking population. Compared with physically inactive smokers, physically active smokers were more likely to have attempted cessation in the past year. Physically active smokers were more likely to be young, single, and men compared with their inactive counterparts. Income had no influence in distinguishing physically active and inactive smokers.
Skepticism persists regarding the practicality and potential risks of promoting physical activity as a harm-reduction strategy for tobacco use. We found that a modest proportion of the daily smoking population was physically active and that engagement in this behavior was related to greater cessation attempts. Interventions could be developed that target smokers who are likely to adopt physical activity.
我们试图确定吸烟者中身体活动的流行程度，身体活跃的吸烟者是否更有可能尝试戒烟，以及这些身体活跃的吸烟者是哪些人。
在加拿大社区健康调查第1.1轮的二次数据分析中，我们使用逻辑回归来对比身体活跃和不活跃的吸烟者。
身体活跃的吸烟者占吸烟人群的近四分之一。与身体不活跃的吸烟者相比，身体活跃的吸烟者在过去一年中更有可能尝试戒烟。与不活跃的吸烟者相比，身体活跃的吸烟者更有可能是年轻人、单身人士和男性。收入在区分身体活跃和不活跃的吸烟者方面没有影响。
对于将促进身体活动作为减少烟草使用危害策略的实用性和潜在风险，人们仍然持怀疑态度。我们发现，日常吸烟人群中有相当一部分人身体活跃，并且参与这种行为与更多的戒烟尝试有关。可以针对可能进行身体活动的吸烟者制定干预措施。
