在美国，钝头雪茄是用来吸食大麻（也许还有其他物质）的中空雪茄。我们调查了钝性使用率;调查中报告的雪茄使用是否实际上是钝性使用;钝性与雪茄使用的关系;钝性使用者的特征;用于制作钝性雪茄的雪茄品牌;设计一项以学校为基础的青年调查，本研究以马萨诸塞州的11所学校为研究对象，共调查了5016名七年级学生，12.Measurements CURE项目评估钝，雪茄和香烟的使用，品牌用来制作钝，药物添加到钝和人口统计学被used.Findings终身钝使用的20.0%的样本，与使用更大的高中初中生（25.6%）高于初中生（11.4%），男生（23.7%）高于女生（16.69%）。自我报告的雪茄使用率没有受到钝性使用被误报为雪茄使用的强烈影响。在一个多变量模型中，直接使用与男性性别，在学校较高的年级，较低的GPA，逃学，较低的学校依恋，不生活在双亲家庭，是“其他”种族/民族和目前使用的香烟和雪茄。费城雪茄是最受欢迎的雪茄品牌，有59的用户。“加西亚·维加”（18.0%）是第二受欢迎的。28%的钝用户添加了大麻以外的药物blunts.Conclusions钝作为药物输送装置的使用是一个严重的问题。解决这一问题的努力将需要烟草管制和药物滥用预防系统的合作。
Aims Blunts are hollowed-out cigars used to smoke marijuana (and perhaps other substances) in the United States. We investigated rates of blunt use; whether cigar use reported in surveys may actually be blunt use; the relationship of blunt to cigar use; characteristics of blunt users; brands of cigars used to make blunts; and drugs added to blunts.Design A school-based survey of youth, the Cigar Use Reasons Evaluation (CURE).Setting Eleven schools across Massachusetts.Participants A total of 5016 students in grades 7-12.Measurements CURE items assessing blunt, cigar and cigarette use, brands used to make blunts, drugs added to blunts and demographics were used.Findings Life-time blunt use was reported by 20.0% of the sample, with use greater among high school (25.6%) than middle school (11.4%) students, and among males (23.7%) than females (16.69%). Self-reported cigar use rates were not influenced strongly by blunt use being misreported as cigar use. In a multivariate model, blunt use was associated with male gender, higher grade in school, lower GPA, truancy, lower school attachment, not living in a two-parent family, being of 'other' race/ethnicity and current use of both cigarettes and cigars. Phillies' was the most popular brand of cigar for making blunts, used by 59.$% of users. 'Garcia y Vega' (18.0%) was the second most popular. Twenty-eight per cent of blunt users had added drugs other than marijuana to blunts.Conclusions The use of blunts as a drug delivery device is a serious problem. Efforts to address it will require the cooperation of the tobacco control and substance abuse prevention systems.
