人们对双性恋者为什么吸烟率高于其他性认同群体知之甚少。非双性性，如双性恋，存在于同性恋和异性恋之间的社会构建的边界内。探索双性恋者的日常吸烟环境和做法可能会揭示推动烟草使用的独特机制。我们采用了一种新颖的混合方法，整合了实时、智能手机管理的(非)吸烟情况调查、位置跟踪、参与者数据的空间可视化以及随后的地图引导访谈。参与者(n=17；年龄18-26岁，加利福尼亚州)被确认为双性恋、双性恋和/或同性恋。大多数是顺性别女性。调查的吸烟模式和情景预测因素与其他年轻人相似。然而，访谈揭示了吸烟在参与者在日常生活中不同性别化空间的导航中的独特作用：1)远离与双性恋身份相关的不舒服情况；2)促进属于LGBTQ+社区；以及3)从双性恋身份感知管理中恢复。类似的研究可以考察其他物质使用的地点嵌入做法和时空模式，以及其他污名化的身份体验。
Little is known about why bisexual people use tobacco at higher rates than any other sexual identity group. Nonbinary sexualities, such as bisexuality, exist within the socially constructed borderland between homosexuality and heterosexuality. Exploration of the everyday smoking contexts and practices of bisexual individuals may reveal unique mechanisms driving tobacco use. We employed a novel mixed method, integrating real-time, smartphone-administered surveys of (non) smoking situations, location tracking, spatial visualization of participant data, and subsequent map-led interviews. Participants (n=17; ages 18-26, California) identified as bisexual, pansexual, and/or queer. Most were cisgender women. Survey smoking patterns and situational predictors were similar to other young adults'. However, interviews revealed unique roles of tobacco use in participants' navigation of differently sexualized spaces in everyday life: 1) stepping away from uncomfortable situations related to bisexual identity; 2) facilitating belonging to LGBTQ+ community; and 3) recovering from bisexual identity perception management. Similar studies can examine the place-embedded practices and spatiotemporal patterns of other substance use and other stigmatized identity experiences.
