Objective.年轻吸烟者通常将自己定义为“社交吸烟者”，这是一种人们知之甚少的吸烟行为模式。我们评估了美国大学生中社交吸烟的患病率和相关性。对2001年在美国119所具有代表性的大学随机抽取的10904名学生进行了横断面调查。在2401名当前（过去30天）吸烟者中，共有51%是社交吸烟者。(To在评估社交吸烟时，学生们被问到：“在过去的30天里，你主要是在与人在一起时吸烟，还是主要是在你独自一人时吸烟，还是你自己吸烟的频率与与与他人一样？“在这项分析中，那些声称他们主要与他人一起吸烟而不是独自吸烟或独自吸烟的学生被定义为社交吸烟者。社交性吸烟与较低的烟草使用频率和强度、较低的尼古丁依赖性、较低的戒烟意愿和较少的近期戒烟者独立相关。社交吸烟是一种独特的烟草使用模式，在大学生中很常见，可能代表了吸烟的一个阶段。
Objective. Young smokers commonly identify themselves as "social smokers," a pattern of smoking behavior that is poorly understood. We assessed the prevalence and correlates of social smoking among US college students.Methods. Cross-sectional survey of a random sample of 10 904 students enrolled at 119 nationally representative US colleges in 2001.Results. A total of 51% of 2401 current (past 30-day) smokers were social smokers. (To assess social smoking, students were asked, " In the past 30 days, do you smoke mainly when you are with people, mainly when you are alone, or do you smoke as often by yourself as with others?" Students who stated that they smoked mainly with others rather than alone or equally by themselves and others were defined as social smokers for this analysis.) Social smoking was independently associated with a lower frequency and intensity of tobacco use, less nicotine dependence, less intention to quit, and fewer recent quit attempts.Conclusions. Social smoking is a distinct pattern of tobacco use that is common among college students and may represent a stage in the uptake of smoking.
