In 1991, approximately 13.8 million adults in the United States met diagnostic criteria for alcohol abuse, alcohol dependence, or both. In addition, at least 80% of persons in this group were likely to be daily tobacco smokers and, therefore, at increased risk for oral and pharyngeal cancers. In Minnesota, among adult smokers with a history of alcohol abuse during 1972-1983, the number of tobacco-related deaths was higher than the number of alcohol-related deaths. To assess rates of smoking cessation among adults with a history of alcohol problems, the University of Nebraska Medical Center conducted an intervention study with 1 year of follow-up during 1995-1996 in 12 residential alcohol-treatment centers in Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska. This report summarizes the findings, which suggest that a substantial proportion of adults recently treated for alcoholism attempted to quit smoking, even though actual quit rates were low.
1991年，美国约有1380万成年人符合酒精滥用、酒精依赖或两者兼具的诊断标准。此外，该群体中至少80%的人可能是每日吸烟者，因此患口腔癌和咽癌的风险增加。在明尼苏达州，1972年至1983年间有酒精滥用史的成年吸烟者中，与烟草相关的死亡人数高于与酒精相关的死亡人数。为评估有酒精问题史的成年人的戒烟率，内布拉斯加大学医学中心于1995年至1996年在爱荷华州、堪萨斯州和内布拉斯加州的12个住院酒精治疗中心进行了一项为期1年随访的干预研究。本报告总结了研究结果，结果表明，尽管实际戒烟率较低，但最近接受酒精中毒治疗的成年人中有很大一部分试图戒烟。
