We interviewed 732 smokers (from five US upper Midwestern states) via telephone in 2006 to examine young adult smoking patterns. We first defined two groups of intermittent smokers-low (who smoked for 1-14 days in the past 30 days) and high (who smoked for 15-29 days in the past 30 days), and then analyzed differences between these two groups and daily smokers. Low intermittent smokers were much less likely to consider themselves smokers, feel addicted, or smoke with friends than high intermittent smokers. Daily smokers were more likely to feel addicted and have trouble quitting smoking than high intermittent smokers. Implications, limitations, and ideas for future studies will be discussed.
我们于 2006 年通过电话采访了 732 名吸烟者（来自美国中西部的五个州），以研究年轻成年人的吸烟模式。我们首先将间歇性吸烟者定义为两组——低频率（在过去 30 天内吸烟 1-14 天）和高频率（在过去 30 天内吸烟 15-29 天），然后分析这两组与每日吸烟者之间的差异。与高频率间歇性吸烟者相比，低频率间歇性吸烟者认为自己是烟民、有烟瘾或与朋友一起吸烟的可能性要小得多。每日吸烟者比高频率间歇性吸烟者更有可能感到烟瘾难耐并难以戒烟。我们将讨论其含义、局限性和未来研究的思路。
