In a cross-sectional study of 2,112 Norwegian army conscripts ages 18 to 25, the prevalence of daily smoking was 50.9%. Among the smokers, 55.7% had increased smoking during military service, and 7.8% of the nonsmokers had started to smoke. These changes in smoking behavior were correlated with having a best friend who smoked, with dissatisfaction with the military service, with physical inactivity, and with frequent alcohol consumption. Ninety percent lived in dormitories when cigarette smoking occurred regularly. Attitudes toward smoking restrictions were determined mainly by the subjects' smoking behavior and subjective discomfort caused by cigarette smoke. Smokers as well as nonsmokers having a best friend who smoked were significantly less bothered by cigarette smoke than others. The findings support the conclusion that military service has a negative influence on the smoking behavior of young Norwegian men. Intervention strategies are recommended.
在一项针对2112名年龄在18至25岁的挪威应征入伍士兵的横断面研究中，每日吸烟的患病率为50.9%。在吸烟者中，55.7%的人在服兵役期间吸烟量增加，7.8%的非吸烟者开始吸烟。这些吸烟行为的变化与有吸烟的挚友、对兵役不满、缺乏体育活动以及频繁饮酒有关。90%的人在经常吸烟时住在宿舍。对吸烟限制的态度主要由受试者的吸烟行为以及香烟烟雾引起的主观不适决定。吸烟者以及有吸烟挚友的非吸烟者受香烟烟雾困扰的程度明显低于其他人。研究结果支持了兵役对挪威年轻男性吸烟行为有负面影响这一结论。建议采取干预策略。
