20 世纪 90 年代，大学生的烟草使用量大幅增加。有必要更好地了解大学吸烟者，以制定针对该人群需求的干预措施。我们研究了与吸烟大学生的自我认同相关的社会人口统计学和烟草使用特征以及吸烟大学生的戒烟意图。我们对校园烟草健康行动研究的基线调查数据进行了逻辑回归分析，这是一项在华盛顿、俄勒冈州和爱达荷州 30 所四年制大学进行的为期 4 年的分组随机试验。与目前吸烟但不认为自己经常吸烟的学生相比，自我认定为经常吸烟者的学生在上大学前、前 30 天吸更多香烟、每天吸更多香烟以及在起床后 30 分钟内吸烟的可能性更大。女性、年龄较大的学生以及自上大学以来吸烟量减少的人更有可能“非常”想要戒烟。大学早期的女性和学生更有可能计划在毕业前戒烟，进入大学后减少吸烟量的学生也是如此。干预措施应针对大学早期的学生，因为大学前的习惯、大学期间吸烟习惯的变化以及大学年级与学生对经常吸烟者的自我认同、戒烟愿望或计划在大学期间戒烟有关。
Tobacco use among college students increased substantially during the 1990s. Better understanding of college smokers is warranted to develop interventions specific to the needs of this population. We examined sociodemographic and tobacco-use characteristics associated with self-identification as a regular smoker and intentions to quit smoking among college students who smoke cigarettes. We conducted logistic regression analysis on baseline survey data from the Campus Health Action on Tobacco study, a 4-year group-randomized trial at 30 four-year colleges in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Students who self-identified as a regular smoker smoked more cigarettes before starting college, smoked a greater number of cigarettes the prior 30 days, smoked more cigarettes per day, and were more likely to smoke within 30min of waking up, compared with students who were current smokers but did not consider themselves regular smokers. Females, older students, and those who had decreased the amount they smoked since coming to college were more likely to want to quit "very much." Females and students in early college years were more likely to be planning to quit before graduation, as were students who had decreased the amount they smoked since coming to college. Interventions should target students who are in their early college years, given that habits prior to college, changes in smoking habits while in college, and year in college are associated with students' self-identification as a regular smoker, desire to quit smoking, or plan to quit smoking while in college.
