年轻人抽雪茄的比例一直在上升。研究表明，年轻人正在通过“反常”（即去掉滤纸）或“钝化”（去掉烟草并补充或用大麻代替）来修改雪茄产品，但对从事这种行为的年轻人知之甚少。因此，本研究探讨人口统计学和并发物质使用行为的青年谁修改cigars.Data从2013凯霍加县青年风险行为调查进行了检查（n = 16 855）。该调查收集了人口统计数据，雪茄产品使用，雪茄修改行为，以及目前的香烟，水烟和大麻使用。雪茄产品使用项目的反应被用来创建一个复合分类的八个独特的用户类别之一的青年。使用SPSS复杂样本程序计算单变量和双变量统计数据。总体而言，15.2%的受访者报告目前使用雪茄产品，11.0%的受访者报告目前使用的雪茄产品，18.5%的受访者报告目前使用的雪茄产品;合计，25.3%的受访者报告目前使用的雪茄产品。当按使用者类别进行检查时，在那些赞同使用任何雪茄产品的人中，雪茄，小雪茄和小雪茄的使用最受欢迎（26.3%），其次为仅钝性（25.2%）和所有三个（即雪茄，小雪茄，小雪茄，怪胎，钝;在使用雪茄产品的高中生中，有相当一部分人正在以某种方式修改它们，近一半的人感到奇怪，近三分之二的人感到迟钝。鉴于FDA烟草产品中心最近将其监管权限扩展到包括雪茄产品，因此有必要了解更多关于雪茄改装行为的流行程度和原因。尽管FDA最近颁布了雪茄产品的监管权限，但对雪茄产品改装知之甚少。这是第一项同时研究两种独特的雪茄改造行为的研究，即“freaking”（即去除滤纸）和“blunting”（去除烟草并补充或取代大麻）。很大一部分高中青年正在修改雪茄产品，将其用作烟草产品和吸食大麻的机制。需要更多的研究来了解这些行为，以防止和减少年轻人使用雪茄产品。
Prevalence of cigar use has been increasing among youth. Research indicates that youth are modifying cigar products either by "freaking" (ie, removing the filter paper) or "blunting" (removing the tobacco and supplementing or replacing with marijuana), yet little is known about youth who engage in this behavior. Thus, this study examines demographic and concurrent substance use behaviors of youth who modify cigars.Data from the 2013 Cuyahoga County Youth Risk Behavior survey were examined (n = 16 855). The survey collected data on demographics, cigar product use, cigar modification behaviors, and current cigarette, hookah and marijuana use. Responses to cigar product use items were used to create a composite to classify youth in one of eight unique user categories. Univariate and bivariate statistics were calculated using SPSS complex samples procedures.Overall, 15.2% reported current cigar product use, 11.0% reported current freaking, and 18.5% reported current blunt use; taken together, 25.3% of respondents reported any current use of a cigar product. When examined by user category, of those who endorsed any cigar product use, cigars, cigarillos, and little cigars use only was most endorsed (26.3%), followed by Blunt only (25.2%) and all three (ie, cigars, cigarillos, and little cigars, freaking, and blunting; 17.4%).A substantial proportion of high school youth who report using cigar products are modifying them in some way, with nearly half freaking and nearly two-thirds blunting. Given the FDA Center for Tobacco products recent extension of its regulatory authority to include cigar products, it is imperative to understand more about the prevalence of and reasons for cigar modification behaviors.Although the FDA has recently enacted regulatory authority over cigar products, little is known about cigar product modification. This is the first study to concurrently examine two unique cigar modification behaviors, "freaking" (ie, removing the filter paper) and "blunting" (removing the tobacco and supplementing or replacing with marijuana). A significant proportion of high school youth are modifying cigar products to be used as a tobacco product and as a mechanism to smoke marijuana. More research is needed to understand these behaviors to prevent and reduce the use of cigar products among youth.
