In March 2011, New Zealand (NZ) launched an aspirational goal to reduce smoking prevalence to 5% or less by 2025 (Smokefree 2025 goal). Little is known about university students' awareness of, support for and perceptions about this goal. We sought to narrow the knowledge gap.
University students in NZ.
We analysed data from a 2018 cross-sectional survey of university students across NZ. Logistic regression analysis examined the associations between responses about the Smokefree goal with smoking and vaping, while controlling for age, sex and ethnicity. Confidence intervals (95% CI) were reported where appropriate.
The sample comprised 1476 students: 919 (62.3%) aged 18 to 20 and 557 (37.7%) aged 21 to 24 years; 569 (38.6%) male and 907 (61.4%) female; 117 (7.9%) Māori and 1359 (92.1%) non-Māori. Of these, 10.5% currently smoked (ie, smoked at least monthly) and 6.1% currently vaped (ie, used an e-cigarette or vaped at least once a month).
Overall awareness of the Smokefree goal was 47.5% (95% CI: 44.9 to 50.1); support 96.9% (95% CI: 95.8 to 97.8); belief that it can be achieved 88.8% (95% CI: 86.8 to 90.7) and belief that e-cigarettes/vaping can help achieve it 88.1% (95% CI: 86.0 to 89.9).Dual users of tobacco cigarettes and e-cigarettes had greater odds of being aware of the Smokefree goal (OR=3.07, 95% CI: 1.19 to 7.92), current smokers had lower odds of supporting it (OR=0.13, 95% CI: 0.06 to 0.27) and of believing that it can be achieved (OR=0.15, 95% CI: 0.09 to 0.24) and current vapers had greater odds of believing that e-cigarettes/vaping can help to achieve it (OR=8.57, 95% CI: 1.18 to 62.52) compared with non-users.
The results suggest strong overall support for the Smokefree goal and belief that it can be achieved and that e-cigarettes/vaping can help achieve it. Smoking and vaping were associated with high awareness of the Smokefree goal, but lower support and optimism that it can be achieved.
2011 年 3 月,新西兰(NZ)提出了一项宏伟目标,即到 2025 年将吸烟率降低到 5%或更低(无烟 2025 目标)。人们对大学生对这一目标的认识、支持和看法知之甚少。我们试图缩小这一知识差距。
新西兰的大学生。
我们分析了 2018 年对新西兰各地大学生进行的横断面调查的数据。逻辑回归分析考察了对无烟目标的反应与吸烟和蒸气吸烟之间的关联,同时控制了年龄、性别和种族。在适当的情况下报告置信区间(95%CI)。
该样本包括 1476 名学生:18 至 20 岁的 919 名(62.3%)和 21 至 24 岁的 557 名(37.7%);569 名男性(38.6%)和 907 名女性(61.4%);117 名毛利人(7.9%)和 1359 名非毛利人(92.1%)。其中,10.5%的人目前吸烟(即每月至少吸烟一次),6.1%的人目前使用电子烟(即每月至少使用一次电子烟)。
总体而言,对无烟目标的认识率为 47.5%(95%CI:44.9 至 50.1);支持率为 96.9%(95%CI:95.8 至 97.8);88.8%的人认为可以实现无烟目标(95%CI:86.8 至 90.7),88.1%的人认为电子烟/蒸气可以帮助实现这一目标(95%CI:86.0 至 89.9)。同时使用烟草香烟和电子烟的双重使用者更有可能意识到无烟目标(OR=3.07,95%CI:1.19 至 7.92),当前吸烟者对支持该目标的可能性较低(OR=0.13,95%CI:0.06 至 0.27),并且相信它可以实现(OR=0.15,95%CI:0.09 至 0.24),而当前的蒸气使用者则更有可能相信电子烟/蒸气可以帮助实现这一目标(OR=8.57,95%CI:1.18 至 62.52),而非使用者。
结果表明,总体上强烈支持无烟目标,并相信它可以实现,电子烟/蒸气可以帮助实现这一目标。吸烟和蒸气吸烟与对无烟目标的高度认识有关,但对其支持度和实现的可能性较低。
