Under its authority to regulate tobacco products, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration prohibited certain characterizing flavors in cigarettes in September 2009; however, flavored cigars are still permitted to be manufactured, distributed, and sold. This study assessed the prevalence and correlates of flavored cigar smoking among U.S. adults.
Data were obtained from the 2009-2010 National Adult Tobacco Survey, a national landline and cell phone survey of adults aged ≥ 18 years old residing in the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. National and state estimates of flavored cigar use were calculated overall and among current cigar smokers; national estimates were calculated by sex, age, race/ethnicity, educational attainment, annual household income, U.S. Census Region, and sexual orientation.
The national prevalence of flavored cigar smoking was 2.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.6%-3.1%; state range: 0.6%-5.7%) and was greater among those who were male, younger in age, non-Hispanic Other race, less educated, less wealthy, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered (LGBT). Nationally, the prevalence of flavored cigar use among cigar smokers was 42.9% (95% CI = 40.1%-45.7%; state range: 11.1%-71.6%) and was greater among those who were female, younger in age, Hispanic, non-Hispanic Other race, less educated, less wealthy, and LGBT.
More than two fifths of current cigar smokers report using flavored cigars. Disparities in flavored cigar use also exist across states and subpopulations. Efforts to curb flavored cigar smoking have the potential to reduce the prevalence of overall cigar smoking among U.S. adults, particularly among subpopulations with the greatest burden.
根据其对烟草产品的监管权限，美国食品和药物管理局已于 2009 年 9 月禁止在香烟中使用某些特征风味；然而，调味雪茄仍被允许制造、分销和销售。本研究评估了美国成年人中调味雪茄吸烟的流行率和相关因素。
数据来自于 2009-2010 年全国成人烟草调查，这是一项针对全国范围内 50 个州和哥伦比亚特区年龄在 18 岁及以上成年人的电话和手机调查。全国和各州调味雪茄使用情况的估计数是根据总体和当前雪茄吸烟者计算得出的；全国估计数是根据性别、年龄、种族/民族、教育程度、家庭年收入、美国人口普查区和性取向计算得出的。
调味雪茄吸烟的全国流行率为 2.8%（95%置信区间[CI]为 2.6%-3.1%；州范围为 0.6%-5.7%），在男性、年龄较小、非西班牙裔其他种族、受教育程度较低、收入较低和同性恋、双性恋、或跨性别者（LGBT）中更为常见。在全国范围内，雪茄吸烟者中使用调味雪茄的比例为 42.9%（95% CI 为 40.1%-45.7%；州范围为 11.1%-71.6%），在女性、年龄较小、西班牙裔、非西班牙裔其他种族、受教育程度较低、收入较低和 LGBT 中更为常见。
超过五分之二的当前雪茄吸烟者报告使用调味雪茄。调味雪茄的使用也存在于各州和各亚群体之间的差异。遏制调味雪茄吸烟的努力有可能降低美国成年人中整体雪茄吸烟的流行率，特别是在负担最重的亚群体中。
