To qualitatively project the future health burden of tobacco from present-day young adult smoking behavior.
Population surveys in California (2002) and nationally (1978-80, 2001-03).
In 2002, 40% of California young adult smokers were nondaily smokers, 24% had quit at some time for >or=6 months, 45% said they smoked less now than previously, and 68% thought they would quit within 5 years. Interest in quitting was high, and most were actively engaged in the smoking cessation process. Young adult smoking behavior changed from 1978-80 to 2001-03.
The future health burden from smoking will be less for the current generation of young adults.
根据当代青年成年人的吸烟行为定性预测未来烟草造成的健康负担。
加利福尼亚州的人口调查（2002年）以及全国性调查（1978 - 1980年、2001 - 2003年）。
2002年，加利福尼亚州40%的青年成年吸烟者并非每日吸烟，24%的人曾有过戒烟≥6个月的经历，45%的人称他们现在吸烟量比以前少，68%的人认为他们会在5年内戒烟。戒烟意愿强烈，且大多数人积极参与戒烟过程。青年成年人的吸烟行为在1978 - 1980年至2001 - 2003年期间发生了变化。
对于当代青年成年人而言，未来吸烟造成的健康负担将会减轻。
