This study aimed to clarify whether smoke-free policies affect the initiation or the quitting of smoking among young adults.
In this natural quasi-experiment study, three universities with different enforcement of smoke-free policies were considered in Kazan City, Russian Federation. Exposure data were collected in 2008-2009 through measurement of particulate matter concentrations in typical sets of premises in each university to distinguish smoke-free universities (SFU) and those not smoke-free (NSFU). All present third year students were surveyed in class in April-June 2011. Number of valid questionnaires equaled 635. The questionnaire was adapted from the Health Professions Students Survey and contained questions on smoking initiation, current tobacco use, willingness to quit, quit attempts, percep-tion of smoke-free policies enforcement, and the demographic data.
Among students of SFU, the percentage of current smokers was smaller than in NSFU: 42% vs. 64% in men and 32% vs. 43% in women. Prevalence of daily smoking was 11-12% in SFU, 26% in NSFU overall and 42% among male students. No advantage of SFU in limiting smoking initiation was found. Percentage of former smokers in SFU was 33% vs. 10% in NSFU. Among current smokers, 57% expressed willingness to quit in SFU and only 28% in NSFU. About 60% of current smokers in SFU attempted to quit within a year and only 36% did so in NSFU with 23% vs. 3% having done three or more attempts.
Smoke-free universities help young adults to avoid establishing regular smoking by means of facilitating quitting smoking.
本研究旨在阐明无烟政策是否会影响年轻人开始吸烟或戒烟。
在这项自然准实验研究中，俄罗斯联邦喀山市考虑了三所对无烟政策执行情况不同的大学。2008 - 2009年通过测量每所大学典型场所的颗粒物浓度来收集暴露数据，以区分无烟大学（SFU）和非无烟大学（NSFU）。2011年4月至6月，对所有在校三年级学生进行了课堂调查。有效问卷数量为635份。该问卷改编自健康专业学生调查问卷，包含关于开始吸烟、当前烟草使用、戒烟意愿、戒烟尝试、对无烟政策执行情况的认知以及人口统计学数据等问题。
在SFU的学生中，当前吸烟者的比例低于NSFU：男性分别为42%和64%，女性分别为32%和43%。SFU中每日吸烟的患病率为11 - 12%，NSFU总体为26%，男学生为42%。未发现SFU在限制开始吸烟方面有优势。SFU中曾经吸烟者的比例为33%，NSFU为10%。在当前吸烟者中，57%的SFU学生表示愿意戒烟，而NSFU中只有28%。SFU中约60%的当前吸烟者在一年内尝试戒烟，NSFU中只有36%，进行过三次或更多次尝试的比例分别为23%和3%。
无烟大学通过促进戒烟帮助年轻人避免养成经常吸烟的习惯。
