Roll-your-own (RYO) tobacco use is exceptionally high in New Zealand with 61% of current smokers using it exclusively or in conjunction with tailor-made (TM) cigarettes. This study examines the characteristics of RYO users and their likelihood of quitting smoking compared to TM and mixed tobacco users.
A random sample of Quitline callers with a booster sample of Māori, was invited to participate in a telephone survey three times within a 12-month period. The response rates for the first survey were 57% for Māori and 63% for non-Māori, resulting in a total of 2002 participants. Among these participants, 64% completed the 6-month follow-up and 42% completed the entire study. Two participants were excluded from this analysis as they smoked neither RYO nor TM. We compared the eligible participants' characteristics and quitting outcomes by tobacco type. Quit status was assessed by 7-day abstinence at 6- and 12-month and we used a conservative approach to treat missing cases.
RYO use was common among particular smokers such as Māori, male, and low socioeconomic status subjects. When sociodemographic and smoking variables were controlled for using a logistic regression model, quit rates were not different by tobacco type.
This study confirms the different characteristics of RYO, TM and mixed tobacco users, and fills a gap of limited research about quitting success of RYO smokers.
自行卷烟(RYO)在新西兰的使用率极高,61%的当前吸烟者仅使用自行卷烟或同时使用定制卷烟(TM)。本研究探讨了自行卷烟使用者的特征以及与定制卷烟使用者和混合型烟草使用者相比,他们戒烟的可能性。
从戒烟热线来电者中随机抽样,并对毛利人进行补充抽样,邀请他们在12个月内参加三次电话调查。第一次调查的回复率,毛利人为57%,非毛利人为63%,共有2002名参与者。在这些参与者中,64%完成了6个月的随访,42%完成了整个研究。两名参与者因既不吸自行卷烟也不吸定制卷烟而被排除在本分析之外。我们按烟草类型比较了符合条件的参与者的特征和戒烟结果。通过6个月和12个月时7天的戒烟情况评估戒烟状态,我们采用保守方法处理缺失病例。
自行卷烟的使用在特定吸烟者中很常见,如毛利人、男性和社会经济地位较低的人群。当使用逻辑回归模型控制社会人口统计学和吸烟变量时,不同烟草类型的戒烟率没有差异。
本研究证实了自行卷烟、定制卷烟和混合型烟草使用者的不同特征,并填补了关于自行卷烟吸烟者戒烟成功率的有限研究的空白。
