我们概述了太平洋岛屿国家和地区的吸烟模式，以便于监测到2025年实现无烟草太平洋目标的进展情况。我们检查了2001年至2013年期间在该地区进行的4项调查的数据，包括成人（25-64岁）的分步监测方法;全球学校学生健康调查和全球青年烟草调查（13-15岁的学生）;以及美国附属太平洋岛屿（USAPI）的青年危险行为监测系统（9-12年级学生）。成人吸烟率从瓦努阿图妇女的不到5%到基里巴斯男子的近75%不等。学生（13-15岁）的吸烟率为5.6%至52.1%。在许多USAPI中，年轻人的吸烟率有所下降。为了实现无烟目标和减少疾病负担，需要加快行动，使国家立法与国际协定保持一致，并在各级建设烟草控制能力。
We provide an overview of tobacco smoking patterns in Pacific island countries and territories to facilitate monitoring progress toward the goal of a Tobacco-Free Pacific by 2025. We examined data from 4 surveys conducted in the region between 2001 and 2013, including the STEPwise approach to surveillance for adults (25-64 years); the Global School-Based Student Health Survey and the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (students 13-15 years); and the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (grade 9-12 students) in United States affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPIs). Adult smoking prevalence ranged from less than 5% of women in Vanuatu to almost 75% of men in Kiribati. Smoking prevalence among students (13-15 years) ranged between 5.6% and 52.1%. There were declines in smoking among youths in many USAPIs. To achieve the tobacco-free goal and reduce disease burden, accelerated action is needed to align national legislation with international agreements and build capacity for tobacco control at all levels.
