This study examines the associations between usual cigarette brand (i.e. menthol, non-menthol) and markers for nicotine dependence and quitting behaviors.
The 2003 and 2006/07 Tobacco Use Supplements to the Current Population Surveys were pooled to conduct secondary data analysis.
National data were collected using in-person and telephone computer-assisted interviews by the United States Census Bureau among civilian, non-institutionalized people aged 15 years and older.
Data were analyzed among daily current smokers aged 18+ (n = 46,273).
The associations between usual cigarette brand and time to first cigarette within 5 and 30 minutes after waking, quit attempts in the past 12 months and length of smoking abstinence in the past 12 months were examined. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were stratified by smoking intensity: ≤5, 6-10, 11-19 and 20+ cigarettes per day.
Menthol smokers reported a mean of 13.05 compared with 15.01 cigarettes per day among non-menthol smokers (P < 0.001). Multivariate results showed that among smokers consuming 6-10 cigarettes per day, menthol smokers were significantly more likely than non-menthol smokers to consume their first cigarette within 5 minutes after waking (odds ratio = 1.22, 95% confidence interval = 1.05,1.43). The multivariate models did not show significant associations between usual cigarette brand and quit attempts in past 12 months or duration of smoking abstinence >2 weeks in the past 12 months.
Findings from this national survey of daily smokers demonstrate that menthol smokers in the United States who report consuming 6-10 cigarettes per day show greater signs of nicotine dependence than comparable non-menthol smokers.
本研究考察了习惯性香烟品牌（即薄荷醇、非薄荷醇）与尼古丁依赖标志物和戒烟行为之间的关联。
汇总了 2003 年和 2006/07 年《当前人口调查烟草使用补充调查》的数据进行二次数据分析。
美国人口普查局通过面对面和电话计算机辅助访谈，在全国范围内收集了 15 岁及以上的平民、非机构化人群的数据。
分析了年龄在 18 岁及以上的每日吸烟人群的数据（n=46273）。
考察了习惯性香烟品牌与醒来后 5 分钟和 30 分钟内第一支香烟的时间、过去 12 个月内戒烟尝试和过去 12 个月内吸烟禁欲时间之间的关联。使用双变量和多变量逻辑回归模型，根据吸烟强度进行分层：≤5、6-10、11-19 和 20+支/天。
薄荷醇吸烟者报告的平均吸烟量为 13.05 支，而非薄荷醇吸烟者为 15.01 支（P<0.001）。多变量结果显示，在每天吸烟 6-10 支的吸烟者中，薄荷醇吸烟者比非薄荷醇吸烟者更有可能在醒来后 5 分钟内吸第一支烟（优势比=1.22，95%置信区间=1.05，1.43）。多变量模型并未显示习惯性香烟品牌与过去 12 个月内戒烟尝试或过去 12 个月内吸烟禁欲时间>2 周之间存在显著关联。
这项针对美国每日吸烟者的全国性调查的结果表明，报告每天吸 6-10 支香烟的美国薄荷醇吸烟者比可比的非薄荷醇吸烟者表现出更强的尼古丁依赖迹象。
