目标。作为评估这种烟草使用形式对健康影响的第一步，我们调查了年轻人中水烟吸烟的流行率。我们用2007年佛罗里达青少年烟草调查的数据检查了水烟的使用情况，该调查评估了该州初高中学生与烟草有关的信念、态度和行为。4%的中学生和11%的高中生报告说曾经用过水管。青春期男孩使用水管的可能性明显高于青春期女孩，而非裔美国青少年使用水管的可能性明显低于其他种族/民族背景的青少年。那些表示曾经尝试过吸烟的人和那些对吸烟的社会性质持积极态度的人更有可能尝试过水烟。水管的使用似乎在初高中学生中很普遍。需要进一步的研究来评估与水烟吸烟有关的健康风险以及年轻人对这种烟草使用形式的态度。[J] .中华卫生杂志，2009;99:2014-2019。doi: 10.2105 / AJPH.2008.151225)
Objectives. We examined prevalence rates of water pipe tobacco smoking among young people as a first step in assessing the health implications of this form of tobacco use.Methods. We examined water pipe use with data from the 2007 Florida Youth Tobacco Survey, which assessed tobacco-related beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors among the state's middle and high school students.Results. Four percent of middle school students and 11% of high school students reported ever having used a water pipe. Adolescent boys were significantly more likely than adolescent girls to use water pipes, and African American adolescents were significantly less likely than adolescents from other racial/ethnic backgrounds to do so. Those who indicated ever having tried cigarettes and those who reported positive attitudes toward the social nature of cigarette use were more likely to have tried water pipes.Conclusions. Water pipe use appears to be widespread among middle and high school students. Further research is needed to assess the health risks associated with water pipe tobacco smoking as well as young people's attitudes toward this form of tobacco use.
