The proportion of smokers who do not smoke daily has increased over time, but nondaily smokers are a heterogeneous group. We compare characteristics and other tobacco product use of infrequent nondaily, frequent nondaily, and daily US adult smokers.
We analyzed data from the 1998, 2000, 2005, and 2010 National Health Interview Surveys. Current smokers were categorized as daily, infrequent nondaily (smoked 1-12 days in the past 30 days), and frequent nondaily (smoked 13-29 days in the past 30 days) smokers. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the correlates of infrequent nondaily, frequent nondaily, and daily smoking.
Among current smokers, 8.3% were infrequent nondaily, 8.1% were frequent nondaily, and 83.6% were daily smokers. The prevalence of infrequent versus daily smoking increased over time, with a smaller increase among non-Hispanic Blacks than non-Hispanic Whites. The adjusted odds of both infrequent and frequent smoking versus daily smoking differed by age, race/ethnicity, education, poverty status, marital status, region, quit attempts in the past 12 months, and binge drinking. Snuff users (vs. non-snuff users) were 2.4 times as likely to be infrequent than daily smokers. There were also differences in race/ethnicity, education, marital status, region, quit attempts, and snuff use between infrequent versus frequent smokers.
Infrequent smokers differ from both frequent and daily smokers in socio-demographics, quit attempts, and snuff use. The heterogeneity of nondaily smokers should be considered in developing targeted tobacco control and smoking cessation programs.
Infrequent and frequent nondaily smokers were found to differ from daily smokers in age, race/ethnicity, education, poverty status, marital status, region, and quit attempts and they were different from each other in race/ethnicity, education, marital status, region, and quit attempts. Binge drinkers were more likely to be infrequent smokers and frequent smokers versus daily smokers. Current snuff users were found to have increased odds of infrequent smoking versus daily smoking and versus frequent smoking. These results highlight the importance of acknowledging the differences among nondaily smokers in smoking frequency in developing targeted tobacco control and smoking cessation programs.
随着时间的推移,不每天吸烟的吸烟者比例有所增加,但非每日吸烟者是一个异质群体。我们比较了美国成年不频繁非每日吸烟者、频繁非每日吸烟者和每日吸烟者的特征和其他烟草制品使用情况。
我们分析了 1998 年、2000 年、2005 年和 2010 年全国健康访谈调查的数据。当前吸烟者分为每日吸烟者、不频繁非每日吸烟者(过去 30 天内吸烟 1-12 天)和频繁非每日吸烟者(过去 30 天内吸烟 13-29 天)。使用多项逻辑回归分析来分析不频繁非每日吸烟、频繁非每日吸烟和每日吸烟的相关性。
在当前吸烟者中,8.3%为不频繁非每日吸烟者,8.1%为频繁非每日吸烟者,83.6%为每日吸烟者。不频繁吸烟与每日吸烟的比例随着时间的推移而增加,而非西班牙裔黑人的增幅小于非西班牙裔白人。与每日吸烟相比,不频繁和频繁吸烟的调整后比值因年龄、种族/民族、教育程度、贫困状况、婚姻状况、地区、过去 12 个月的戒烟尝试以及狂饮而有所不同。鼻烟使用者(与非鼻烟使用者相比)成为不频繁吸烟者的可能性是每日吸烟者的 2.4 倍。在不频繁吸烟者与频繁吸烟者之间,种族/民族、教育程度、婚姻状况、地区、戒烟尝试和鼻烟使用也存在差异。
不频繁吸烟者在社会人口统计学、戒烟尝试和鼻烟使用方面与频繁和每日吸烟者不同。在制定有针对性的烟草控制和戒烟计划时,应考虑非每日吸烟者的异质性。
不频繁和频繁的非每日吸烟者在年龄、种族/民族、教育程度、贫困状况、婚姻状况、地区和戒烟尝试方面与每日吸烟者不同,而在种族/民族、教育程度、婚姻状况、地区和戒烟尝试方面则彼此不同。狂饮者更有可能成为不频繁的吸烟者和频繁的吸烟者,而不是每日吸烟者。目前的鼻烟使用者发现,与每日吸烟者相比,不频繁吸烟和频繁吸烟的可能性更高。这些结果强调了在制定有针对性的烟草控制和戒烟计划时,承认非每日吸烟者吸烟频率差异的重要性。
