Apart from cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, smoking is associated with an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Many of these can be accounted for by dangerous smoking behaviors such as smoking in bed or while driving. We estimated therefore the prevalence of these hazardous smoking behaviors and the perceived risk of accidents associated with them in Italy.
Data were derived by a survey on smoking on 3057 subjects, representative of the Italian population aged > or =15 years. Specific questions were included on prevalence and risk perception of smoking while driving or in bed.
Of all current smokers (23.5% of the Italian population), 12% reported smoking while in bed, 69% reported smoking while driving a car, and 17% reported smoking while driving a motorcycle. Predictors of smoking while driving were younger age, male sex, and being a heavy smoker. Of the total population, 81% reported that smoking while driving increased the risk of accident, but public perception was lower in men, the young, current smokers, and among the subjects engaging in these behaviors. About 7% of car injuries in Italy could involve a subject who smokes while driving.
Efforts should be taken, therefore, to disseminate knowledge about the smoking behaviors associated to high risk of injuries.
除癌症、心血管疾病和呼吸系统疾病外，吸烟还会增加事故和受伤风险。其中许多可归因于危险的吸烟行为，如在床上或开车时吸烟。因此，我们估计了意大利这些危险吸烟行为的流行率以及与之相关的事故感知风险。
数据来自对3057名15岁及以上意大利代表性人群的吸烟情况调查。其中包含关于开车或在床上吸烟的流行率和风险感知的具体问题。
在所有当前吸烟者（占意大利人口的23.5%）中，12%报告在床上吸烟，69%报告开车时吸烟，17%报告骑摩托车时吸烟。开车时吸烟的预测因素包括年龄较小、男性以及重度吸烟者。在总人口中，81%报告开车时吸烟会增加事故风险，但男性、年轻人、当前吸烟者以及从事这些行为的人群中公众认知较低。在意大利，约7%的汽车受伤可能涉及开车时吸烟的人。
因此，应努力传播与高受伤风险相关的吸烟行为知识。
