Smoking prevalence in Canada has declined; yet, not among all segments of the population. Residents of high-deprivation neighbourhoods and young adults are over-represented among current smokers. There is a dearth of theoretically informed research focused on better understanding the connection between smoking, social inequalities, and place among young adults. To contribute to this understudied area, we undertook a qualitative study drawing upon the collective lifestyles framework. We conducted walking interviews (go-alongs) with 27 young adults (smokers and non-smokers) living in five diverse urban neighbourhoods in Montreal, Canada. We present the findings as neighbourhood portraits wherein participants' accounts revealed how local smoking practices shaped and were shaped by rules and regulations and the meaning and use of neighbourhood resources. In the discussion we reflect on the opportunities and constraints to smoking with a focus on young adults. We also consider the possible implications for socio-spatial inequalities in smoking and the relationship to tobacco control strategies.
加拿大的吸烟率有所下降，但并非所有人群都有所下降。高贫困社区的居民和年轻人在当前吸烟者中所占比例过高。在理解吸烟、社会不平等和年轻人之间的联系方面，缺乏理论性的研究。为了促进这一研究不足的领域，我们进行了一项定性研究，该研究借鉴了集体生活方式框架。我们对居住在加拿大蒙特利尔五个不同城市社区的 27 名年轻成年人（吸烟者和非吸烟者）进行了步行访谈（随行访谈）。我们以社区肖像的形式呈现了研究结果，参与者的描述揭示了当地的吸烟习惯是如何受到规则和法规以及社区资源的意义和使用的影响和塑造的。在讨论中，我们重点关注年轻人，反思吸烟的机会和限制。我们还考虑了吸烟与社会空间不平等之间的可能联系以及与烟草控制策略的关系。
