电子烟（电子烟）目前尚未得到美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）或各种医疗组织的批准或推荐;然而，它们似乎在烟草使用者的戒烟尝试中发挥了重要作用。这项研究报告了一项医生调查，测量了与电子烟和戒烟相关的信念，态度和行为。据我们所知，这是第一项衡量治疗成年吸烟者的医生对电子烟态度的研究。2013年，通过电子邮件联系了一家直销公司随机抽取的787名北卡罗来纳州医生，其中413名打开了电子邮件，128名回复（回复率= 31%）。 医生对电子烟的态度通过一系列封闭式问题来衡量。向患者推荐电子烟作为logistic回归分析的结果变量。三分之二（67%）的受访医生表示，电子烟有助于戒烟，35%的医生向患者推荐电子烟。当患者询问电子烟时，或者当医生认为电子烟比吸普通香烟更安全时，医生更有可能推荐电子烟。许多北卡罗来纳州的医生正在与他们的病人谈论电子烟，有些人正在推荐电子烟。未来FDA对电子烟的监管可能有助于为医生提供有关电子烟的循证指南，并有助于确保患者获得有关电子烟戒烟安全性和有效性的循证建议。
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are not currently approved or recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or various medical organizations; yet, they appear to play a substantial role in tobacco users’ cessation attempts. This study reports on a physician survey that measured beliefs, attitudes, and behavior related to e-cigarettes and smoking cessation. To our knowledge this is the first study to measure attitudes toward e-cigarettes among physicians treating adult smokers. Using a direct marketing company, a random sample of 787 North Carolina physicians were contacted in 2013 through email, with 413 opening the email and 128 responding (response rate = 31%). Physicians’ attitudes towards e-cigarettes were measured through a series of close-ended questions. Recommending e-cigarettes to patients served as the outcome variable for a logistic regression analysis. Two thirds (67%) of the surveyed physicians indicated e-cigarettes are a helpful aid for smoking cessation, and 35% recommended them to their patients. Physicians were more likely to recommend e-cigarettes when their patients asked about them or when the physician believed e-cigarettes were safer than smoking standard cigarettes. Many North Carolina physicians are having conversations about e-cigarettes with their patients, and some are recommending them. Future FDA regulation of e-cigarettes may help provide evidence-based guidance to physicians about e-cigarettes and will help ensure that patients receive evidence-based recommendations about the safety and efficacy of e-cigarettes in tobacco cessation.
