This study examines whether having health conditions or concerns related to smoking is associated with use of vaping products. Data came from the 2016 wave of the International Tobacco Control Four Country Smoking and Vaping Survey. Smokers and recent quitters ( = 11,344) were asked whether they had a medical diagnosis for nine health conditions (i.e., depression, anxiety, alcohol problems, severe obesity, chronic pain, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and chronic lung disease) and concerns about past and future health effects of smoking, and their vaping activities. Respondents with depression and alcohol problems were more likely to be current vapers both daily (Adjusted odds ratio, AOR = 1.42, 95% confidence interval, CI 1.09-1.85, < 0.05 for depression; and AOR = 1.52, 95% CI 1.02-2.27, < 0.05 for alcohol) and monthly (AOR = 1.32, 95% CI 1.11-1.57 for depression, < 0.01; and AOR = 1.43, 95% CI 1.06-1.90, < 0.05 for alcohol). Vaping was more likely at monthly level for those with severe obesity (AOR = 1.77, 95% CI 1.29-2.43, < 0.001), cancer (AOR = 5.19, 95% CI 2.20-12.24, < 0.001), and concerns about future effects of smoking (AOR = 1.83, 95% CI 1.47-2.28, < 0.001). Positive associations were also found between chronic pain and concerns about past health effects of smoking and daily vaping. Only having heart disease was, in this case negatively, associated with use of vaping products on their last quit attempt (AOR = 0.72, 95% CI 0.43-0.91, < 0.05). Self-reported health condition or reduced health associated with smoking is not systematically leading to increased vaping or increased likelihood of using vaping as a quitting strategy.
本研究旨在探讨与吸烟相关的健康状况或担忧是否与使用电子烟产品有关。数据来自 2016 年国际烟草控制四国吸烟和电子烟调查的一个波次。吸烟者和最近戒烟者(共 11344 人)被问及他们是否有九种健康状况(即抑郁症、焦虑症、酗酒问题、严重肥胖、慢性疼痛、糖尿病、心脏病、癌症和慢性肺病)的医学诊断,以及对过去和未来吸烟对健康影响的担忧,以及他们的电子烟使用情况。患有抑郁症和酗酒问题的受访者更有可能是当前的电子烟使用者,无论是每天(调整后的优势比,AOR = 1.42,95%置信区间,CI 1.09-1.85,<0.05)还是每月(AOR = 1.52,95%置信区间,CI 1.02-2.27,<0.05)。患有严重肥胖症(AOR = 1.77,95%置信区间,CI 1.29-2.43,<0.001)、癌症(AOR = 5.19,95%置信区间,CI 2.20-12.24,<0.001)和对吸烟未来影响的担忧(AOR = 1.83,95%置信区间,CI 1.47-2.28,<0.001)的人,每月使用电子烟的可能性更高。慢性疼痛与对吸烟过去健康影响的担忧和每日使用电子烟之间也存在正相关关系。只有患有心脏病的人在这种情况下,在最近一次戒烟尝试中,使用电子烟产品的可能性降低(AOR = 0.72,95%置信区间,0.43-0.91,<0.05)。与吸烟相关的自我报告的健康状况或健康状况下降并没有系统地导致电子烟使用增加或更有可能将电子烟作为戒烟策略。
