A magnitude 7.1 earthquake hit Canterbury in September 2010. This earthquake and associated aftershocks took the lives of 185 people and drastically changed residents' living, working, and social conditions.
To explore the impact of the earthquakes on smoking status and levels of tobacco consumption in the residents of Christchurch.
Semistructured interviews were carried out in two city malls and the central bus exchange 15 months after the first earthquake. A total of 1001 people were interviewed.
In August 2010, prior to any earthquake, 409 (41%) participants had never smoked, 273 (27%) were currently smoking, and 316 (32%) were ex-smokers. Since the September 2010 earthquake, 76 (24%) of the 316 ex-smokers had smoked at least one cigarette and 29 (38.2%) had smoked more than 100 cigarettes. Of the 273 participants who were current smokers in August 2010, 93 (34.1%) had increased consumption following the earthquake, 94 (34.4%) had not changed, and 86 (31.5%) had decreased their consumption. 53 (57%) of the 93 people whose consumption increased reported that the earthquake and subsequent lifestyle changes as a reason to increase smoking.
24% of ex-smokers resumed smoking following the earthquake, resulting in increased smoking prevalence. Tobacco consumption levels increased in around one-third of current smokers.
2010年9月，一场7.1级地震袭击了坎特伯雷。这场地震及相关余震导致185人丧生，并极大地改变了居民的生活、工作和社会状况。
探讨地震对克赖斯特彻奇居民吸烟状况和烟草消费水平的影响。
在首次地震发生15个月后，在两个城市购物中心和中央公交换乘站进行了半结构式访谈。共采访了1001人。
2010年8月，在任何地震发生之前，409名（41%）参与者从不吸烟，273名（27%）目前吸烟，316名（32%）为曾经吸烟者。自2010年9月地震以来，316名曾经吸烟者中有76名（24%）至少吸过一支烟，29名（38.2%）吸过超过100支烟。在2010年8月为目前吸烟者的273名参与者中，93名（34.1%）在地震后增加了吸烟量，94名（34.4%）没有变化，86名（31.5%）减少了吸烟量。在93名吸烟量增加的人中，53名（57%）报告称地震及随后的生活方式改变是增加吸烟的原因。
24%的曾经吸烟者在地震后恢复吸烟，导致吸烟率上升。约三分之一的目前吸烟者的烟草消费水平有所增加。
