To support the goal of a tobacco-free Air Force, a longitudinal study of 3,531 first-term airmen was conducted during basic military training (BMT) at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. Tobacco use is currently prohibited during the 6-week period of BMT. Three self-reported surveys to determine tobacco use prevalence and behaviors were administered at the beginning, end, and 90 days post-BMT. Results indicate that 36% of men and 29% of women used some form of tobacco prior to BMT. Within 90 days after completing BMT, 74% of matched males and females resumed tobacco use and 6% of matched males and females initiated tobacco use. Regression analysis found that several survey questions could predict 85% of tobacco use and 88% of non-tobacco use after BMT. We conclude that tobacco prohibition during BMT has a small, beneficial effect on post-BMT tobacco use. Further efforts, however, are needed to meet the goal of a tobacco-free Air Force.
为支持空军无烟目标，在得克萨斯州拉克兰空军基地进行基础军事训练（BMT）期间，对3531名首任期飞行员开展了一项纵向研究。目前在为期6周的BMT期间禁止吸烟。在BMT开始时、结束时以及结束后90天进行了三次自我报告调查，以确定吸烟流行率和行为。结果表明，36%的男性和29%的女性在BMT之前使用过某种形式的烟草。在完成BMT后的90天内，74%的配对男性和女性恢复吸烟，6%的配对男性和女性开始吸烟。回归分析发现，几个调查问题可以预测BMT后85%的吸烟情况和88%的不吸烟情况。我们得出结论，BMT期间的禁烟对BMT后的吸烟情况有微小的有益影响。然而，需要进一步努力以实现空军无烟目标。
