目的本研究调查了加州黑人和非西班牙裔白人吸烟趋势的差异。方法分析1996年至2008年加州烟草调查的数据，以检查黑人和非西班牙裔白人吸烟行为和戒烟的趋势。结果在12年的时间里，黑人和非西班牙裔白人的吸烟率均有所下降。研究发现，在黑人和非西班牙裔白人中，每日重度吸烟者的比例显著下降。轻度和间歇性吸烟者以及每日适度吸烟者的比例在黑人中略有增加，但在非西班牙裔白人中大幅增加。成功戒烟的人数在黑人和非西班牙裔白人中也有所增加。黑人和非西班牙裔白人的吸烟行为和戒烟趋势具有启发性。每日重度吸烟者和前吸烟者的减少可能表明加州控烟工作的成功和有效性。然而，在黑人和非西班牙裔白人中，轻度和间歇性吸烟者以及中度每日吸烟者比例的增加表明，需要针对轻度吸烟者进行戒烟努力。
ObjectivesThe current study examined disparities in smoking trends across Blacks and non-Hispanic Whites in California.MethodsData from the 1996 to 2008 California Tobacco Survey were analyzed to examine trends in smoking behaviors and cessation across Blacks and non-Hispanic Whites.ResultsA decrease in overall ever and current smoking was observed for both Black and non-Hispanic Whites across the 12-year time period. A striking decrease in proportions of heavy daily smokers for both Black and non-Hispanic Whites were observed. Proportions of light and intermittent smokers and moderate daily smokers displayed modest increases for Blacks, but large increases for non-Hispanic Whites. Increases in successful cessation were also observed for Blacks and, to a lesser extent, for non-Hispanic Whites.DiscussionSmoking behavior and cessation trends across Blacks and non-Hispanic Whites were revealing. The decline in heavy daily and former smokers may demonstrate the success and effectiveness of tobacco control efforts in California. However, the increase in proportions of light and intermittent smokers and moderate daily smokers for both Blacks and non-Hispanic Whites demonstrates a need for tobacco cessation efforts focused on lighter smokers.
