背景2009年4月1日，联邦卷烟消费税从每包39美分提高到1.01美元。方法.这项研究描述了16个州戒烟热线的呼叫量，呼叫者的特征和戒烟结果。结果2009年，拨打戒烟热线的电话增加了23.5%，更多的白人、25岁以上的吸烟者、吸烟时间较短的人、受教育程度较低的人以及与吸烟者一起生活的人在征税后（而不是征税前）拨打了戒烟热线。7个月的戒烟率在税前和税后没有差异。结论.描述性分析显示，联邦香烟消费税与戒烟热线的增加有关，但多变量分析显示戒烟率没有差异。然而，在相同的退出率下，更多的呼叫者表明成功退出的总人数增加。如果从增加香烟税收中获得的收入被用于戒烟治疗，那么未来的消费税可能会产生更大的影响。
Background. On April 1, 2009, the federal cigarette excise tax increased from 39 cents to $1.01 per pack. Methods. This study describes call volumes to 16 state quitlines, characteristics of callers and cessation outcomes before and after the tax. Results. Calls to the quitlines increased by 23.5% in 2009 and more whites, smokers >= 25 years of age, smokers of shorter duration, those with less education, and those who live with smokers called after (versus before) the tax. Quit rates at 7 months did not differ before versus after tax. Conclusions. Descriptive analyses revealed that the federal excise tax on cigarettes was associated with increased calls to quitlines but multivariate analyses revealed no difference in quit rates. However, more callers at the same quit rate indicates an increase in total number of successful quitters. If revenue obtained from increased taxation on cigarettes is put into cessation treatment, then it is likely future excise taxes would have an even greater effect.
