很少有研究调查了日本人吸烟行为对个人和社会的影响。本研究的目的是阐明日本公务员吸烟行为与社会人口因素、生活方式、心理健康和工作特点之间的关系。2001年，某地方政府部门对年龄在20-64岁之间的1439名雇员（男性821人，女性618人）进行了问卷调查。问卷内容包括社会人口因素、受教育程度、就业等级、生活方式、影响平衡量表、工作特征等。吸烟状况分为现在吸烟者、曾经吸烟者和从不吸烟者。采用多元logistic回归分析评价吸烟与其他项目的关系。男性吸烟率高于女性（53.1%比4.9%）。在男性中，目前的吸烟者与高龄（40岁或以上）、低教育水平、少运动、不规律的早餐和负面影响平衡之间存在很强的关系。在受教育程度低的男性中，戒烟的流行率明显低于受教育程度高的男性。在女性中，年轻（20-29岁）、未婚（单身或其他）、有业余爱好和不规律的早餐与吸烟行为有关。此外，戒烟与有一个爱好和负面影响平衡显著相关。上述结果表明，社会人口统计学、生活方式和心理健康特征与当前吸烟状况独立相关。这些因素应在戒烟政策中作为计划的组成部分加以考虑。
Few studies have examined the individual and social impact of smoking behavior in the Japanese population. The purpose of this study was to clarify the association between smoking behavior and socio-demographic factors, lifestyle, mental health and work characteristics of Japanese civil servants. A self-administered questionnaire survey of 1,439 employees (821 men and 618 women) aged 20-64 yr was conducted in a local government department in 2001. The questionnaire included items on socio-demographic factors, education level, grade of employment, lifestyle, affect balance scale, and work characteristics. Smoking status was divided into current smoker, ex-smoker and never smoked. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between smoking and the other items. Men presented a higher smoking prevalence rate than women (53.1% vs. 4.9%). In men, a strong relationship between current smoker and advanced age (40 yr or older), low education level, less physical activity, irregular breakfast and negative affect balance was found. Among men with a low education, the prevalence of smoking cessation was significantly lower in comparison to men with a high education. In women, being young (20-29 yr), unmarried (single or other), having a hobby, and irregular breakfast were associated with smoking behavior. Furthermore, smoking cessation was significantly associated with having a hobby and negative affect balance. The above results suggest that socio-demographic, lifestyle and mental health characteristics are independently associated with current smoking. These factors should be considered in smoking cessation policies as program components.
