在美国大学生中，吸食水烟的人数正在增加，包括那些原本不会吸烟的人。水烟的吸引力部分归因于人们认为水烟比香烟危害小。本研究的目的是评估与吸烟相关的水烟有害暴露的知识，并确定这种知识和水烟吸烟结果之间的关联。通过电子邮件随机抽取佛罗里达大学的学生（N= 852），以获得有关人口统计学、水烟吸烟行为和五种暴露（如焦油和尼古丁）知识的信息。多变量逻辑回归模型评估知识和水烟结果之间的独立关联。在五个事实性知识项目中，有475人（55.8%）没有回答正确。在多变量模型中，对任何知识项目的正确回答与未来水烟吸烟或水烟易感性的低几率无关。虽然大学生在很大程度上没有意识到与水烟相关的有毒物质暴露，但知识与水烟吸烟行为之间几乎没有联系。
Hookah tobacco smoking is increasing among US college students, including those who would not otherwise use tobacco. Part of hookah’s appeal is attributed to the perception that hookah is less harmful than cigarettes. The aims of this study were to assess knowledge of harmful exposures associated with hookah smoking relative to cigarette smoking and to determine associations between this knowledge and hookah smoking outcomes. Students (N= 852) at the University of Florida were randomly sampled via e-mail to obtain information on demographics, hookah smoking behavior and knowledge of five exposures (e.g. tar and nicotine). Multivariable logistic regression models assessed independent associations between knowledge and hookah smoking outcomes. Of the five factual knowledge items asked, 475 (55.8%) of the respondents answered none correctly. In multivariable models, correct responses to any knowledge items were not associated with lower odds of hookah smoking or susceptibility to hookah smoking in the future. Although college students are largely unaware of the toxicant exposures associated with hookah smoking, there is little association between knowledge and hookah smoking behavior.
