This study examined patterns of use of flavored tobacco products in a nationally generalizable sample of Canadian students in grades 9 through 12 after the implementation of a national ban on certain flavored tobacco products.
Data from the 2010-2011 Youth Smoking Survey, a nationally generalizable sample of Canadian students in grades 9 through 12 (n = 31,396), were used to examine tobacco product use. Logistic regression models were used to examine differences in use of flavored tobacco products (cigarettes, pipes, little cigars or cigarillos, cigars, roll-your-own cigarettes, bidis, smokeless tobacco, water pipes, and blunt wraps) by sociodemographic and regional characteristics.
Approximately 52% of young tobacco users used flavored products in the previous 30 days. Flavored tobacco use varied by product type and ranged from 32% of cigarette smokers reporting menthol smoking to 70% of smokeless tobacco users reporting using flavored product in the previous 30 days. The percentage of last-30-day users who used flavored tobacco was significantly higher in Quebec than in Ontario and significantly higher among youths who received weekly spending money than among those who received no money.
More than half of tobacco users in grades 9 through 12 in Canada use flavored tobacco, despite a national ban on certain flavored tobacco products.
本研究在全国范围内具有代表性的9至12年级加拿大学生样本中，调查了在国家对某些调味烟草产品实施禁令后，调味烟草产品的使用模式。
使用2010 - 2011年青少年吸烟调查的数据，该调查是对9至12年级加拿大学生的全国代表性样本（n = 31,396），用于研究烟草产品的使用情况。逻辑回归模型用于研究按社会人口统计学和地区特征划分的调味烟草产品（香烟、烟斗、小雪茄或小雪茄烟、雪茄、自卷烟、比迪烟、无烟烟草、水烟和钝包装烟）使用差异。
在过去30天里，约52%的年轻烟草使用者使用了调味产品。调味烟草的使用因产品类型而异，在过去30天里，报告吸薄荷醇香烟的吸烟者中这一比例为32%，而报告使用调味产品的无烟烟草使用者中这一比例为70%。在魁北克，过去30天内使用调味烟草的使用者比例显著高于安大略省，且在每周有零花钱的青少年中显著高于没有零花钱的青少年。
尽管国家对某些调味烟草产品实施了禁令，但加拿大9至12年级的烟草使用者中，超过一半使用调味烟草。
