We examined loose cigarette (loosie) purchasing behavior among young adult (aged 18-26 years) smokers at bars in New York City and factors associated with purchase and use.
Between June and December 2013, we conducted cross-sectional surveys (n = 1916) in randomly selected bars and nightclubs. Using multivariable logistic regression models, we examined associations of loose cigarette purchasing and use with smoking frequency, price, social norms, cessation behaviors, and demographics.
Forty-five percent (n = 621) of nondaily smokers and 57% (n = 133) of daily smokers had ever purchased a loosie; 15% of nondaily smokers and 4% of daily smokers reported that their last cigarette was a loosie. Nondaily smokers who never smoked daily were more likely than were daily smokers to have last smoked a loosie (odds ratio = 7.27; 95% confidence interval = 2.35, 22.48). Quitting behaviors and perceived approval of smoking were associated with ever purchasing and recently smoking loosies.
Loosie purchase and use is common among young adults, especially nondaily smokers. Smoking patterns and attitudes should be considered to reduce loose cigarette purchasing among young adults in New York City.
我们调查了纽约市酒吧中18至26岁年轻成年吸烟者购买散支香烟（loosie）的行为以及与购买和使用相关的因素。
2013年6月至12月期间，我们在随机选择的酒吧和夜总会进行了横断面调查（n = 1916）。使用多变量逻辑回归模型，我们研究了散支香烟购买和使用与吸烟频率、价格、社会规范、戒烟行为和人口统计学之间的关联。
45%（n = 621）的非每日吸烟者和57%（n = 133）的每日吸烟者曾购买过散支香烟；15%的非每日吸烟者和4%的每日吸烟者报告称他们最后一支烟是散支香烟。从不每日吸烟的非每日吸烟者比每日吸烟者更有可能最后吸的是散支香烟（比值比 = 7.27；95%置信区间 = 2.35，22.48）。戒烟行为和对吸烟的感知认可度与曾经购买和最近吸食散支香烟有关。
购买和使用散支香烟在年轻人中很常见，尤其是非每日吸烟者。应考虑吸烟模式和态度，以减少纽约市年轻人购买散支香烟的行为。
