2004年至2010年的全国数据显示，尽管非薄荷醇卷烟使用率有所下降，但青少年和成年人的薄荷醇卷烟使用率保持不变，而年轻人的薄荷醇卷烟使用率有所上升。当前研究的目的是将这些分析延伸到2014年。方法：利用全国药物使用和健康调查中12岁人群的年度横断面数据，估计2004-2014年美国薄荷卷烟的流行程度。选定品牌的自我报告薄荷醇状态，无论是纯薄荷醇还是非薄荷醇，都根据零售销售数据进行调整。对数据进行加权以提供国家估计。结果2012-2014年，尽管总体吸烟率有所下降，但过去30天吸烟者使用薄荷醇卷烟的比例（39%）高于2008-2010年（35%）。与所有其他年龄组相比，青少年吸烟者仍然是最可能使用薄荷香烟的群体。自2010年以来，薄荷香烟在白人、亚洲人和西班牙裔吸烟者中的流行率有所上升。2014年，青少年和年轻成年吸烟者中薄荷卷烟的流行率超过了非薄荷卷烟。在吸烟者中，薄荷香烟的使用与雪茄的共同使用呈正相关。从2004年到2014年，薄荷卷烟和无烟烟草的共同使用也有所增加。结论年轻吸烟者最可能使用薄荷香烟。在吸烟者中，自2010年以来，薄荷卷烟的总体使用量以及白人、亚洲人和西班牙裔人的薄荷卷烟使用量的增加令人担忧。限制薄荷香烟对公众健康的影响，特别是对青年和青壮年健康的影响，迫在眉睫。
Introduction National data from 2004 to 2010 showed that despite decreases in non-menthol cigarette use prevalence, menthol cigarette use prevalence remained constant in adolescents and adults and increased in young adults. The purpose of the current study was to extend these analyses through 2014.Methods We estimated the prevalence of menthol cigarette smoking in the USA during 2004-2014 using annual cross-sectional data on persons aged 12years from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Self-reported menthol status for selected brands that were either exclusively menthol or non-menthol were adjusted based on retail sales data. Data were weighted to provide national estimates.Results Although overall smoking prevalence has decreased, the proportion of past 30-day cigarette smokers using menthol cigarettes was higher (39%) in 2012-2014 compared to 2008-2010 (35%). Youth smokers remain the most likely group to use menthol cigarettes compared to all other age groups. Menthol cigarette prevalence has increased in white, Asian and Hispanic smokers since 2010. Menthol cigarette prevalence exceeded non-menthol cigarette prevalence in youth and young adult smokers in 2014. Among smokers, menthol cigarette use was positively correlated with co-use of cigars. Menthol cigarette and smokeless tobacco co-use also increased from 2004 to 2014.Conclusions The youngest smokers are most likely to use menthol cigarettes. Among smokers, increases in overall menthol cigarette use and menthol cigarette use in whites, Asians and Hispanics since 2010 are of concern. There is tremendous urgency to limit the impact of menthol cigarettes on public health, particularly the health of youth and young adults.
