新冠肺炎已经成为一种全球性的流行病，全球有8100多万病例。为了评估大流行导致的烟草使用变化，我们在2020年4月至6月期间对当前烟草使用者进行了方便抽样调查。样本来自美国宾夕法尼亚州好时宾夕法尼亚州宾夕法尼亚州州立医学院的烟草使用者研究登记(n=3396)。对调查作出回应并有资格参加这项研究的参与者(n=291)是25.6%的男性，93%的是白人，平均年龄为47.3岁(SD=11.6)。没有参与者新冠肺炎检测呈阳性的报告，但21.7%的人报告出现了与病毒相关的症状。大多数参与者(67%)认为他们感染新冠肺炎的风险与非烟草使用者相同，但57.7%的人认为他们如果被感染，发生严重并发症的风险比非烟草使用者更高。共有28%的人报告在大流行期间增加了香烟的使用。增加使用的最常见原因是增加的压力，更多的时间呆在家里，以及被隔离时的无聊。近15%的人报告说他们减少了烟草使用。减少使用的最常见原因是对健康的担忧和更多的时间与非吸烟者(包括儿童)在一起。共有71名用户(24.5%)报告尝试戒烟。确定这些与大流行有关的烟草使用变化的特征，对于全面了解大流行造成的后续健康后果可能很重要。戒烟资源应该量身定做，以便有兴趣戒烟的人能够安全、适当地获得戒烟资源。
COVID-19 has become a global pandemic, with over 81 million cases worldwide. To assess changes in tobacco use as a result of the pandemic, we surveyed a convenience sample of current tobacco users between April and June 2020. The sample was taken from a tobacco user research registry (n = 3396) from the Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey, Pennsylvania, USA. Participants who responded to the survey and were eligible for this study (n = 291) were 25.6% male, 93% white, and had a mean age of 47.3 (SD = 11.6) years. There were no reports of participants testing positive for COVID-19, but 21.7% reported experiencing symptoms associated with the virus. Most participants (67%) believed that their risk of contracting COVID-19 was the same as non-tobacco users, but 57.7% believed that their risk of serious complications, if infected, was greater compared to non-tobacco users. A total of 28% reported increasing their cigarette use during the pandemic. The most common reasons for increased use were increased stress, more time at home, and boredom while quarantined. Nearly 15% reported decreasing their tobacco use. The most common reasons for reduced use were health concerns and more time around non-smokers (including children). A total of 71 (24.5%) users reported making a quit attempt. Characterizing these pandemic-related changes in tobacco use may be important to understanding the full scope of subsequent health outcomes resulting from the pandemic. Tobacco cessation resources should be tailored to allow for safe, appropriate access for those interested in quitting.
