Smoking rates are decreasing in Norway while the use of snus has increased. We aimed to investigate the co-occurrence of, and the socio-demographics, personality and substance use characteristics associated with, student smoking and snus use.
Survey data were collected among students in higher education in Bergen, Norway in 2015 ( = 11,236, response rate 39.4%). Multinomial regression analyses comparing snus users and smokers to non-users and non-smokers, respectively, on demographic, personality and substance use variables were conducted. Regression analyses comparing current dual users to current smokers and current snus users and comparing daily smokers to daily snus users, on demographic, personality and substance use variables were also conducted.
In total 67.9% of ever snus users identified themselves as non-smokers (past and current). Several demographic, personality and substance use characteristics associated with smoking and snus use were identified (all = 05), some of which were common for both (e.g., use of cannabis) and some which were exclusively associated with either smoking (e.g., neuroticism) or snus use (e.g., extroversion).
The current study contributes with several novel findings regarding traits associated with smoking and snus use. Though limited by a cross-sectional design, the current findings may suggest that the group of students using snus consists of a combination of previous smokers, students who would have smoked if snus was not available and a new segment who may not have used nicotine if snus was not available.
挪威的吸烟率在下降，而口含烟的使用却有所增加。我们旨在调查学生吸烟与口含烟使用的共存情况，以及与之相关的社会人口统计学、人格和物质使用特征。
2015年在挪威卑尔根的高等教育学生中收集了调查数据（n = 11236，回复率39.4%）。分别在人口统计学、人格和物质使用变量方面，进行多项回归分析，将口含烟使用者和吸烟者与非使用者和非吸烟者进行比较。还在人口统计学、人格和物质使用变量方面，进行回归分析，将当前的双重使用者与当前的吸烟者和当前的口含烟使用者进行比较，并将每日吸烟者与每日口含烟使用者进行比较。
在曾经使用过口含烟的人中，总计67.9%的人将自己认定为非吸烟者（过去和现在）。确定了一些与吸烟和口含烟使用相关的人口统计学、人格和物质使用特征（所有p<0.05），其中一些特征两者共有（例如，使用大麻），一些特征仅与吸烟（例如，神经质）或口含烟使用（例如，外向性）相关。
本研究提供了一些关于吸烟和口含烟使用相关特征的新发现。尽管受横断面设计的限制，但当前的研究结果可能表明，使用口含烟的学生群体包括以前的吸烟者、如果没有口含烟就会吸烟的学生，以及如果没有口含烟可能就不会使用尼古丁的新群体。
