The adverse health effects of tobacco and alcohol are well known. Alcohol consumption is increasing in Sri Lanka, but few population studies have been conducted. The objective of this study was to document tobacco and alcohol consumption levels among adults in southern Sri Lanka and to identify the main reasons for using or refraining from alcohol and tobacco products. Tobacco and alcohol use within Sri Lanka is relatively common, particularly among adult males. Reasons given for smoking and drinking frequently relate to social and image-based motivators. Women may be especially susceptible to the influence of peer pressure in social situations. Public health efforts should consider the use of demographic-specific anti-tobacco and anti-alcohol messages, as the motivators driving behavior appear to differ across gender and age groups.
烟草和酒精对健康的不良影响是众所周知的。在斯里兰卡，酒精消费量正在上升，但针对人群的研究却很少。本研究的目的是记录斯里兰卡南部成年人的烟草和酒精消费水平，并确定使用或不使用酒精和烟草产品的主要原因。在斯里兰卡，烟草和酒精的使用相对普遍，尤其是在成年男性中。经常吸烟和饮酒的原因通常与社交和基于形象的动机有关。在社交场合中，女性可能特别容易受到同伴压力的影响。公共卫生工作应考虑使用针对特定人口特征的反烟草和反酒精信息，因为驱动行为的动机似乎因性别和年龄组而异。
