More than 37,000,000 US adults smoke cigarettes. Most are interested in quitting, but rates of successful cessation remain low. Developing more and better approaches to tobacco treatment is a public health priority. The evolution of vehicular travel may present an opportunity for tobacco treatment intervention. We recruited individuals who reported previous use of ridesharing services (eg, Uber or Lyft) at 10 sites in the Boston area. They completed an anonymous survey that collected sociodemographic and tobacco use information and assessed participants' interest in receiving various forms of tobacco treatment during their rideshare rides. Forty-nine adult smokers completed the survey. Mean age = 40.1, 61.2% male, 51.0% white, 16.3% African American/black, 14.3% Latino, and 8.2% Asian. Almost 70% were college graduates, 79.6% worked full time, and 40.8% used ridesharing services ≥ weekly. They smoked a mean of 8.7 cigarettes per day; 35.3% were moderately or highly nicotine dependent, 36.7% also smoked cigars, 34.7% also used e-cigarettes, and 41.7% were in the contemplation or preparation stage of quitting. More than 56% of participants expressed some level of interest in receiving quit-smoking messaging during their rideshare rides. On multivariate analysis, black or Latino race/ethnicity and rideshare frequency of at least once a week were associated with interest in receiving quit-smoking messaging during rideshare rides. The majority of rideshare users who smoke are amenable to the idea of quit-smoking messaging delivered to them during their rides, and interest rates were highest among black or Latino riders and those who used rideshare services most frequently.
超过3700万美国成年人吸烟。大多数人有戒烟意愿，但成功戒烟率仍然很低。开发更多更好的烟草治疗方法是公共卫生的重点。车辆出行方式的演变可能为烟草治疗干预提供机会。我们在波士顿地区的10个地点招募了曾使用过拼车服务（如优步或来福车）的人。他们完成了一项匿名调查，收集了社会人口统计学和烟草使用信息，并评估了参与者在拼车过程中接受各种形式烟草治疗的意愿。49名成年吸烟者完成了调查。平均年龄为40.1岁，男性占61.2%，白人占51.0%，非裔美国人/黑人占16.3%，拉丁裔占14.3%，亚裔占8.2%。近70%为大学毕业生，79.6%全职工作，40.8%每周至少使用一次拼车服务。他们平均每天吸8.7支烟；35.3%为中度或高度尼古丁依赖者，36.7%也抽雪茄，34.7%也使用电子烟，41.7%处于戒烟的考虑或准备阶段。超过56%的参与者表示在拼车过程中对接收戒烟信息有一定程度的兴趣。多因素分析显示，黑人或拉丁裔种族/族裔以及每周至少拼车一次与在拼车过程中对接收戒烟信息的兴趣相关。大多数吸烟的拼车用户愿意在乘车过程中接收戒烟信息，其中黑人或拉丁裔乘客以及使用拼车服务最频繁的乘客兴趣最高。
