Japan is the leading market for heated tobacco products (HTPs). We assessed the latest prevalence of HTP use including novel products (Ploom S, glo sens, and Pulze).
Data were obtained from an internet-based, self-reported survey conducted during February-March 2020 with individuals aged 15-74 years in Japan(n=9044). Prevalence of current (past 30-day) HTP use and cigarette smoking was computed. Poison regression analysis was conducted to examine predictors of HTP use among current cigarette smokers (n=1478). All analyses were weighted to account for selection bias in the internet survey using a nationally representative sample of Japanese population.
In 2020, prevalence of current HTP use and cigarette smoking was 10.9% and 25.9% in Japan, respectively. The most commonly used HTP brand was IQOS (5.7%) followed by Ploom TECH/Ploom TECH+ (5.4%) and glo (2.6%). Use of Ploom S, glo sens and Pulze was 1.6%, 0.8% and 0.6%, respectively. Among current cigarette smokers, 34.9% of those who were interested in quitting smoking and 30.5% of those who were not interested in quitting reported concurrent use of HTP, respectively (difference not significant). Cigarette smokers who reported having multiple chronic conditions (aPR=2.31), alcohol consumption (aPR=2.07), and e-cigarette use (aPR=1.88) were more likely to use an HTP compared to those who did not report such characteristics.
HTP use remained prevalent in Japan. One in three current cigarette smokers used HTPs regardless of whether they were interested inquitting smoking. Continuedsurveillance is important to inform national and global tobaccocontrol strategies.
日本是加热烟草制品（HTPs）的主要市场。我们评估了包括新型产品（Ploom S、 glo sens 和 Pulze）在内的 HTP 使用的最新流行率。
数据来自于 2020 年 2 月至 3 月期间在日本进行的一项基于互联网的自我报告调查，调查对象为 15-74 岁的人群（n=9044）。计算了当前（过去 30 天）HTP 使用和吸烟的流行率。使用对数回归分析对目前吸烟的 HTP 使用的预测因素进行了研究（n=1478）。所有分析均使用全国代表性的日本人口样本进行加权，以考虑互联网调查中的选择偏差。
2020 年，日本当前 HTP 使用和吸烟的流行率分别为 10.9%和 25.9%。最常用的 HTP 品牌是 IQOS（5.7%），其次是 Ploom TECH/Ploom TECH+（5.4%）和 glo（2.6%）。Ploom S、glo sens 和 Pulze 的使用率分别为 1.6%、0.8%和 0.6%。在目前吸烟的人群中，分别有 34.9%的有戒烟意愿者和 30.5%的无戒烟意愿者报告同时使用 HTP（差异无统计学意义）。报告有多种慢性病（aPR=2.31）、饮酒（aPR=2.07）和电子烟使用（aPR=1.88）的吸烟者比没有报告这些特征的吸烟者更有可能使用 HTP。
HTP 的使用在日本仍然很普遍。无论是否有戒烟意愿，每三个当前的吸烟者中就有一个使用 HTP。持续监测对于制定国家和全球烟草控制策略非常重要。
