This paper examines whether adolescent students in Canada who have never smoked but who drink alcohol mixed with energy drinks (AmED) are more susceptible to smoking than those who do not consume AmED.
A nationally representative sample of 15,875 never-smoking students in grades 9 to 12 from the 2010-2011 Canadian Youth Smoking Survey is used. The association between AmED and susceptibility to smoking is examined using a logistic regression.
About 28% of the never-smoking adolescents in grades 9 to 12 are susceptible to smoking, and 13% report using AmED. Results of the adjusted logistic regression analysis show a statistically significant positive association between consuming AmED and susceptibility to smoking. Never-smoking students who reported using AmED are more susceptible to smoking when compared with those who have not consumed AmED (OR=1.89; 95% CI=1.71-2.10). Similar results are obtained when the analysis is stratified by gender.
The consumption of AmED is associated with higher odds of smoking susceptibility among Canadian adolescents. AmED use could be a potential marker for smoking susceptibility among never-smoking adolescents.
本文探讨加拿大从未吸烟但饮用含能量饮料的酒精饮料（AmED）的青少年学生是否比不饮用AmED的学生更容易吸烟。
使用2010 - 2011年加拿大青少年吸烟调查中15875名9至12年级从未吸烟学生的全国代表性样本。使用逻辑回归分析AmED与吸烟易感性之间的关联。
9至12年级从未吸烟的青少年中约28%易吸烟，13%报告饮用AmED。调整后的逻辑回归分析结果显示，饮用AmED与吸烟易感性之间存在统计学上显著的正相关。与未饮用AmED的学生相比，报告饮用AmED的从未吸烟学生更容易吸烟（OR = 1.89；95% CI = 1.71 - 2.10）。按性别分层分析时也得到类似结果。
饮用AmED与加拿大青少年吸烟易感性较高的几率相关。饮用AmED可能是从未吸烟青少年吸烟易感性的一个潜在指标。
