To investigate the relationship of sociodemographic and economic characteristics to tobacco expenses among Moroccan daily smokers.
Cross-sectional ("Maroc Tabagisme" Survey) study.
Random sample of 9195 subjects representative of the Moroccan population.
Household subjects 15 years and older.
Data were collected from selected households using a questionnaire about smoking, educational level, occupation, and household monthly income.
Associations between sociodemographic and economic characteristics, smoking status, and tobacco expenses were assessed by multivariate analysis in a sample of 5959 respondents who provided details about their family income.
Of 5959 participants, 28.5% of men and 2.8% of women were daily smokers. Compared with students, the odds of daily smoking were higher among blue-collar workers (odds ratio, 2.66). Tobacco expenses increased with higher family monthly income (p < .001). Moreover, smokers whose family monthly income was less than 1000 Moroccan dirham (MAD) spent 50.9% on tobacco, while those with family monthly income of 6000 MAD or higher spent 13.0 %on tobacco.
There was a strong association between tobacco expenses and sociodemographic and economic characteristics. Among households with low monthly income, up to half of the monthly income is spent on tobacco.
调查社会人口学和经济特征与摩洛哥每日吸烟者烟草支出的关系。
横断面（“摩洛哥吸烟”调查）研究。
摩洛哥人口的随机样本 9195 人。
15 岁及以上的家庭受试者。
使用有关吸烟、教育程度、职业和家庭月收入的问卷从选定家庭收集数据。
通过多元分析评估了社会人口学和经济特征、吸烟状况和烟草支出之间的关联，在提供了有关家庭收入详细信息的 5959 名受访者的样本中进行了分析。
在 5959 名参与者中，28.5%的男性和 2.8%的女性是每日吸烟者。与学生相比，蓝领工人（比值比，2.66）每日吸烟的可能性更高。烟草支出随家庭月收入的增加而增加（p <.001）。此外，家庭月收入低于 1000 摩洛哥迪拉姆（MAD）的吸烟者在烟草上的支出占 50.9%，而家庭月收入为 6000 MAD 或更高的吸烟者在烟草上的支出占 13.0%。
烟草支出与社会人口学和经济特征之间存在很强的关联。在月收入较低的家庭中，高达一半的月收入用于购买烟草。
