Since the advent of heated tobacco products in June 2017 in South Korea, the sale of heated tobacco products accounted for 10.5% of total tobacco sales in 2019. However, the decreasing trend in total tobacco sales is gradually weakening and the number of visitors using stop smoking services has also dropped. This study examines the association between the use of new tobacco products and related products and cessation behaviors. A cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire was conducted from March 2019 to July 2019 for 2831 adult tobacco users. The difference in rates of quit attempts using the type of tobacco products and related products in the past year were noted (55.6% (any cigarette smoker), 46.7% (any e-cigarette user), and 39.6% (any heated tobacco product user)). About a 30% increase in quit attempts was observed for the triple users of either conventional cigarette or heated tobacco product than exclusive users. Exclusive heated tobacco product and e-cigarette users were approximately 40% and 20% less likely to quit the product they used than exclusive cigarette smokers, respectively. These findings can explain recent occurrences in South Korea, such as the reduction of visitors at smoking cessation clinics and the attenuation of the decline in tobacco sales.
自 2017 年 6 月韩国推出加热烟草产品以来，加热烟草产品的销售额占 2019 年总烟草销售额的 10.5%。然而，总烟草销售额的下降趋势逐渐减弱，使用戒烟服务的访客人数也有所下降。本研究旨在探讨新型烟草产品和相关产品的使用与戒烟行为之间的关系。本研究采用横断面研究，于 2019 年 3 月至 7 月期间，对 2831 名成年烟草使用者进行了一项自我管理的问卷调查。研究记录了过去一年中不同类型烟草产品和相关产品的戒烟尝试率的差异（55.6%（任何香烟吸烟者），46.7%（任何电子烟使用者），39.6%（任何加热烟草产品使用者））。与仅使用传统香烟或加热烟草产品的三重使用者相比，使用这两种产品的三重使用者的戒烟尝试率增加了约 30%。与仅吸烟的人相比，仅使用加热烟草产品或电子烟的人戒烟的可能性分别降低了约 40%和 20%。这些发现可以解释韩国最近发生的一些情况，例如戒烟诊所访客减少和烟草销售下降趋势减弱。
