Increasing diversity of the tobacco product landscape, including electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), hookah, snus, and dissolvable tobacco products (dissolvables), raises concerns about the public health impact of these non-conventional tobacco products among youth.
This study assessed awareness, ever use, and current use of non-conventional tobacco products among U.S. students in 2012, overall and by demographic and tobacco use characteristics.
Data from the 2012 National Youth Tobacco Survey, a nationally representative survey of U.S. middle and high school students, were analyzed in 2013. Prevalence of awareness, ever use, and current use of e-cigarettes, hookah, snus, and dissolvables were calculated overall and by sex, school level, race/ethnicity, and conventional tobacco product use, including cigarettes, cigars, or smokeless tobacco (chewing tobacco, snuff, or dip).
Overall, 50.3% of students were aware of e-cigarettes; prevalence of ever and current use of e-cigarettes was 6.8% and 2.1%, respectively. Awareness of hookah was 41.2% among all students, and that of ever and current use were 8.9% and 3.6%, respectively. Overall awareness; ever; and current use of snus (32%, 5.3%, 1.7%, respectively) and dissolvables (19.3%, 2.0%, 0.7%, respectively) were generally lower than those of e-cigarettes or hookah. Conventional tobacco product users were more likely to be aware of and to use non-conventional tobacco products.
Many U.S. students are aware of and use non-conventional tobacco products. Evidence-based interventions should be implemented to prevent and reduce all tobacco use among youth.
包括电子烟、水烟、口含烟和可溶解烟草制品(可溶解物)在内的烟草产品格局日益多样化,引发了人们对这些非传统烟草产品对青少年公共健康影响的担忧。
本研究评估了2012年美国学生对非传统烟草产品的知晓情况、曾经使用情况和当前使用情况,总体情况以及按人口统计学和烟草使用特征进行的评估。
2013年对2012年全国青少年烟草调查的数据进行了分析,该调查是对美国初中和高中学生具有全国代表性的调查。计算了电子烟、水烟、口含烟和可溶解物的知晓率、曾经使用率和当前使用率,总体情况以及按性别、学校级别、种族/族裔和传统烟草产品使用情况(包括香烟、雪茄或无烟烟草(嚼烟、鼻烟或口嚼烟草))进行的计算。
总体而言,50.3%的学生知晓电子烟;曾经使用和当前使用电子烟的比例分别为6.8%和2.1%。所有学生中水烟的知晓率为41.2%,曾经使用和当前使用的比例分别为8.9%和3.6%。总体而言,口含烟(分别为32%、5.3%、1.7%)和可溶解物(分别为19.3%、2.0%、0.7%)的知晓率、曾经使用率和当前使用率通常低于电子烟或水烟。传统烟草产品使用者更有可能知晓并使用非传统烟草产品。
许多美国学生知晓并使用非传统烟草产品。应实施基于证据的干预措施,以预防和减少青少年中的所有烟草使用。
