Monitoring tobacco use on a regular schedule is a basic tool of tobacco control policy. This study aimed (1) to assess the current prevalence and patterns of tobacco and e-cigarette use, as well as (2) to identify socioeconomic factors associated with smoking behavior among adults in Poland. This cross-sectional study was carried out in March 2022 on a nationwide, representative sample of 1090 adults in Poland. The computer-assisted web interview (CAWI) technique was used. Daily tobacco smoking was declared by 28.8% of respondents (27.1% of females and 30.8% of males; = 0.2) and 4.2% were occasional smokers (4.2% of females and 4.3% of males; = 0.8). Most of the current smokers (62.1%) smoked regular cigarettes and 25.2% smoked hand-rolled cigarettes. The prevalence of daily e-cigarette use was 4.8% (4.0% among females and 5.6% among males; = 0.2). Daily heated tobacco use was declared by 4.0% of respondents (5.1% of females and 2.9% of males; = 0.07). Age, having children, and educational level were significantly associated with current daily tobacco smoking. This study revealed a high prevalence of tobacco and e-cigarette use among adults in Poland. The presented data underscore the importance of further improvements in adopting a comprehensive tobacco control strategy in Poland.
定期监测烟草使用情况是烟草控制政策的基本工具。本研究旨在：(1)评估波兰成年人当前的烟草和电子烟使用流行率和模式，以及(2)确定与吸烟行为相关的社会经济因素。这项横断面研究于 2022 年 3 月在波兰全国范围内对 1090 名成年人进行了代表性抽样。采用计算机辅助网络访谈（CAWI）技术。28.8%的受访者报告有每日吸烟行为（女性为 27.1%，男性为 30.8%；=0.2），4.2%为偶尔吸烟者（女性为 4.2%，男性为 4.3%；=0.8）。大多数当前吸烟者（62.1%）吸普通香烟，25.2%吸手工卷烟。每日电子烟使用率为 4.8%（女性为 4.0%，男性为 5.6%；=0.2）。4.0%的受访者报告有每日使用加热烟草（女性为 5.1%，男性为 2.9%；=0.07）。年龄、有子女和教育水平与当前每日吸烟显著相关。本研究揭示了波兰成年人中烟草和电子烟使用的高流行率。所呈现的数据强调了在波兰进一步完善综合性烟草控制策略的重要性。
