To examine associations of menthol cigarette use with motivation and confidence to quit smoking, and potential moderation by race, among adult current smokers (N = 1067; 85% White, 15% Black).
Regression analyses, adjusted for sociodemographics and tobacco dependence, examined associations of menthol use with motivation and confidence to quit smoking with and without an interaction term for race.
Main effects were not significant; however, there was a significant interaction for confidence to quit smoking (p = .02). Stratified analyses indicated that Black menthol users were more confident about quitting than Black non-menthol users (p = .01).
Given their relatively lower quit rates as cited in previous literature, Black menthol users appear overly confident about their ability to quit smoking.
在成年现吸烟者（N = 1067；85%为白人，15%为黑人）中，研究薄荷醇香烟使用与戒烟动机和信心之间的关联，以及种族的潜在调节作用。
进行回归分析，对社会人口统计学和烟草依赖进行调整，研究薄荷醇使用与有无种族交互项时戒烟动机和信心之间的关联。
主效应不显著；然而，戒烟信心存在显著交互作用（p = .02）。分层分析表明，黑人薄荷醇使用者比黑人非薄荷醇使用者对戒烟更有信心（p = .01）。
鉴于先前文献中提到黑人的戒烟率相对较低，黑人薄荷醇使用者似乎对自己的戒烟能力过于自信。
