We conducted a survey of cigarette usage among Hispanic and non-Hispanic White school children in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The distributions of current, experimental, and never smokers were similar in the two groups. Among smokers, the average weekly cigarette consumption was 19 for Hispanic White males, 14 for non-Hispanic White males, 16 for non-Hispanic White females, and nine for Hispanic White females. Educational programs are needed to maintain the low-risk status of Southwestern Hispanics for cigarette-related diseases.
我们对新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基市的西班牙裔和非西班牙裔白人学童的吸烟情况进行了一项调查。两组中当前吸烟者、尝试吸烟者和从不吸烟者的分布情况相似。在吸烟者中,西班牙裔白人男性的平均每周吸烟量为19支,非西班牙裔白人男性为14支,非西班牙裔白人女性为16支,西班牙裔白人女性为9支。需要开展教育项目,以维持西南部西班牙裔人群在与吸烟相关疾病方面的低风险状态。
