18至24岁的成年人,其中许多人在上大学,是烟草业营销的最年轻的法律的目标。吸烟在大学生中已有描述,但对大学生的非香烟烟草使用或任何年龄的成年人的雪茄使用知之甚少。目的评估所有形式的烟草使用的流行率(香烟,雪茄,烟斗和无烟烟草)在美国大学生中的使用情况,并确定与每种产品使用相关的学生和大学水平因素。设计哈佛大学酒精调查,研究对象为119所具有全国代表性的美国四年制大学,随机抽取14138名学生(60%的应答率)。主要结果测量自我报告的当前(过去30天内)、过去一年和一生中使用香烟、雪茄、烟斗、无烟烟草,结果近一半(45.7%)的受访者在过去一年中使用过烟草产品,三分之一(32.9%)的受访者目前使用烟草。吸烟占烟草使用的大部分(当前患病率为28.5%),但雪茄使用也很重要(终生患病率为37.1%,去年患病率为23.0%,当前患病率为8.5%),两者的结合很常见。男性的烟草总使用率高于女性(37.9%比29.7%; P
Context Adults aged 18 to 24 years, many of whom are in college, represent the youngest legal targets for tobacco industry marketing. Cigarette smoking has been described among college students, but little is known about noncigarette tobacco use by college students or cigar use by adults of any age.Objectives To assess the prevalence of all forms of tobacco use (cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and smokeless tobacco) among US college students and to identify student- and college-level factors associated with use of each product.Design The Harvard College Alcohol Survey, a self-administered survey conducted in 1999.Setting One hundred nineteen nationally representative US 4-year colleges.Subjects A total of 14138 randomly selected students (60% response rate).Main Outcome Measures Self-report of current (in the past 30 days), past-year, and lifetime use of cigarettes, cigars, pipes, smokeless tobacco, and all tobacco products.Results Nearly half (45.7%) of respondents had used a tobacco product in the past year and one third (32.9%) currently used tobacco. Cigarettes accounted for most of the tobacco use (28.5% current prevalence), but cigar use was also substantial (37.1% lifetime prevalence, 23.0% past-year prevalence, and 8.5% current prevalence) and combinations of the 2 were common. Total tobacco use was higher in men than in women (37.9% vs 29.7%; P
