We report cessation behaviors, reasons for use of electronic cigarettes (EC) and heated tobacco products (HTP) and association of their use with quit attempts and smoking intensity using Romania Global Adult Tobacco Survey 2018. Weighted estimates of EC and HTP by cigarette smoking (CS) status were assessed. Quit attempts, intention to quit, reasons for lack of intention to quit among current CS, and reasons for current use of EC and HTP were estimated. The association of 'ever use' of EC and HTP with cigarette smoking intensity and quit attempts was explored using binary logistic regression. Of the total 4571 surveyed, 1243 (27.3%) were current CS, 300 (24.4%) made quit attempts in the past 12 months. Only 38 (12.5%) and 26 (8.6%) had used EC and HTP as an aid to quit. Among current CS, 512 (41.2%) had no intention to quit. Reasons for this were, 'enjoy smoking' (86.1%), 'reduce stress' (65.9%), and 'staying alert' (46.3%). Awareness and use of EC and HTP were significantly higher among current CS. 'Dual use' of EC and HTP with CS was manifolds higher than stand-alone use. Reasons for current use of EC and HTP were 'enjoyment', and 'use in places where smoking was prohibited'.
我们报告了罗马尼亚 2018 年全球成人烟草调查中与戒烟尝试和吸烟强度相关的戒烟行为、使用电子烟（EC）和加热烟草产品（HTP）的原因，以及它们的使用与戒烟尝试和吸烟强度的关联。评估了按吸烟状况（CS）划分的 EC 和 HTP 的加权估计值。估计了当前 CS 的戒烟尝试、戒烟意愿、缺乏戒烟意愿的原因，以及当前使用 EC 和 HTP 的原因。使用二元逻辑回归探讨了“曾经使用”EC 和 HTP 与吸烟强度和戒烟尝试的关联。在接受调查的 4571 人中，有 1243 人（27.3%）为当前 CS，300 人（24.4%）在过去 12 个月内尝试过戒烟。只有 38 人（12.5%）和 26 人（8.6%）曾使用 EC 和 HTP 作为戒烟辅助手段。在当前 CS 中，有 512 人（41.2%）没有戒烟意愿。原因是“享受吸烟”（86.1%）、“减轻压力”（65.9%）和“保持警觉”（46.3%）。当前 CS 对 EC 和 HTP 的认识和使用明显更高。EC 和 HTP 与 CS 的“双重使用”比单独使用高得多。当前使用 EC 和 HTP 的原因是“享受”和“在禁止吸烟的地方使用”。
