前言：本研究探讨了成年吸烟者和近期戒烟者使用非卷烟烟草和尼古丁产品的模式。除了吸烟状况，我们还探讨了不同国家不同产品法规、性别和年龄的差异。方法：数据来自2020年2月至6月期间进行的ITC四国吸烟和电子烟浪潮3调查。分析样本包括9112名当前吸烟者（至少每月一次）和1184名最近戒烟者（戒烟26%）。男性、年轻受访者和目前不每天吸烟的人更有可能使用非香烟尼古丁产品。值得注意的是，11.6%的戒烟者正在使用其他可燃烟草。结论：相当大比例的当前吸烟者和戒烟者使用非香烟尼古丁产品，并且最近戒烟者使用其他可燃产品的水平出乎意料地高，这令人关注并对戒烟的定义具有重要意义。
Introduction: This study explores patterns of use of non-cigarette tobacco and nicotine products among adult cigarette smokers and recent ex-smokers. Along with cigarette smoking status we explore differences as a function of countries with different product regulations, gender, and age.Methods: Data came from the ITC Four Country Smoking and Vaping Wave 3 Survey conducted between February-June 2020. The analytic sample consisted of 9112 current cigarette smokers (at least monthly) and 1184 recent ex-smokers (quit cigarettes 26%). Males, younger respondents, and current non-daily cigarette smokers were more likely to use non-cigarette nicotine products. Notably, 11.6% of ex-cigarette smokers were using other combustible tobacco.Conclusion: Considerable percentages of current cigarette smokers and ex-smokers use non-cigarette nicotine products, and there are unexpectedly high levels of use of other combustible products by those recent ex-smokers of cigarettes which is concerning and has important implications for definitions of smoking cessation.
