Although cigarette smoking has declined among U.S. workers, smoking remains high among construction workers. This study assessed tobacco product use among U.S. construction workers.
The 2014-2016 National Health Interview Survey data for U.S. working adults were analyzed.
Of the 10.2 (6.3% of working adults) million construction workers, 35.1% used any tobacco product; 24.4% were cigarette smokers, 8.3% were cigar, cigarillo, pipe or hookah smokers, 7.8% were smokeless tobacco users, 4.4% were e-cigarette users, and 7.6% used ≥2 tobacco product users. Tobacco use varied by worker characteristics, with highest tobacco use (>35%) among those reporting ≤5 years on the job, temporary work status, job insecurity, or an unsafe workplace. Construction workers had higher odds of tobacco product use than non-construction workers.
Over one-third of U.S. construction workers use tobacco products and disparities exist across sub-groups. Workplace tobacco control strategies could reduce tobacco use among this population.
尽管美国工人的吸烟率有所下降，但建筑工人的吸烟率仍然很高。本研究评估了美国建筑工人的烟草制品使用情况。
对 2014-2016 年美国成年劳动者的国家健康访谈调查数据进行了分析。
在 1020 万（占成年劳动者的 6.3%）名建筑工人中，有 35.1%使用任何烟草制品；24.4%是香烟吸烟者，8.3%是雪茄、小雪茄、烟斗或水烟吸烟者，7.8%是无烟烟草使用者，4.4%是电子烟使用者，7.6%是使用≥2 种烟草制品者。烟草使用情况因工人特征而异，在报告工作年限≤5 年、临时工身份、工作不稳定或工作场所不安全的工人中，烟草使用比例最高（>35%）。建筑工人使用烟草制品的可能性高于非建筑工人。
超过三分之一的美国建筑工人使用烟草制品，而且不同亚组之间存在差异。工作场所的烟草控制策略可以减少这一人群的烟草使用。
