简介：在过去的二十年中，成人对雪茄、小雪茄和小雪茄的使用有所增加；方法：数据来自凯霍加县行为危险因素监测调查的 5 年（2003-2007 年），这是 ICF Macro International 根据俄亥俄州 BRFSS 的调查和方法进行的随机数字电话调查。 结果：结果表明，这 5 年中当前吸烟的流行率为 23.1%。分别有 4.3% 和 3.3% 的受访者表示吸过雪茄和很少吸雪茄。与香烟使用者相比，雪茄和小雪茄使用者更有可能报告使用多种产品（分别为 12.8%、63.9% 和 80.5%）。雪茄和小雪茄使用者在人口特征和多种产品使用模式方面与卷烟吸烟者不同。讨论：黑人和低收入成年人更有可能报告使用小雪茄和多种产品。这些差异可能导致烟草相关疾病的发病率过高，以及低收入和少数民族人口在烟草使用流行率中代表性不足。
Introduction: Adult use of cigars, cigarillos, and little cigars has increased over the past two decades; however, little is known about the characteristics of the users.Methods: The data were derived from 5 years (2003-2007) of the Cuyahoga County Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, a random digit-dialed telephone survey conducted by ICF Macro International, based on the survey and methods of the Ohio BRFSS.Results: Results indicate that the prevalence of current cigarette smoking across the 5 years was 23.1%. Cigar use and little cigar use were reported by 4.3% and 3.3% of respondents, respectively. Compared with cigarette users, cigar and little cigar users were far more likely to report multiple product use (12.8% vs. 63.9% and 80.5%, respectively). Cigar and little cigar users differed from cigarette smokers in demographic profile and patterns of multiple product use.Discussion: Black and lower income adults were significantly more likely to report use of little cigars and use of multiple products. These disparities potentially contribute to the disproportionate rates of tobacco-related illnesses and underrepresentation of low-income and minority populations in tobacco use prevalence rates.
