自2000年以来，雪茄产品的消费量有所增加。这一类别中的多种产品类型，加上消费者提到它们的各种语言，为准确评估雪茄产品使用的流行程度带来了挑战。这些产品可以用来吸食大麻，作为“钝物”--雪茄中的烟草被去除并换成大麻，这一事实也使监视变得复杂。关于描述这些产品的语言和术语的研究很少。2014年3月至5月期间，在美国的五个城市进行了十六个焦点小组。参与者（N = 123）包括在过去30天内使用雪茄，雪茄或小雪茄的成年人。半结构化的主持人指南用于收集用于识别雪茄产品亚型的术语以及用于描述产品及其用途的语言的数据。参与者对每种产品类型使用了各种术语。经常使用品牌名称以及俚语，包括描述为大麻用途而改装的雪茄的术语。一些亚型比其他亚型更不可能被认为是“雪茄”。参与者对雪茄产品的使用者是否是“吸烟者”的看法不一。雪茄产品的使用者可能会对产品进行分类或贴上与研究人员和政策制定者不同的标签，许多人用品牌名称或俚语来称呼他们的产品。这些FI对未来的研究，仪器设计和雪茄产品的公共卫生信息有影响。这项研究增加了大量证据，突出了包括雪茄在内的非卷烟烟草产品的测量和监测所面临的挑战。调查结果说明了消费者用来描述他们使用雪茄产品亚型的无数术语，以及区分雪茄产品的预期使用与作为吸食大麻的载体的复杂性。未来旨在提高雪茄使用指标特异性的研究将使政策制定者和公共卫生从业人员能够更全面地描述雪茄亚型的流行率和使用模式。
The consumption of cigar products has increased since 2000. The multiple product types within this category, combined with the varied language with which consumers refer to them, present challenges for accurately assessing the prevalence of cigar product use. Surveillance is also complicated by the fact that these products can be used to smoke marijuana, as “blunts”— cigars in which the tobacco is removed and replaced with marijuana. Few studies exist regarding the language and terminology used to describe these products. Sixteen focus groups were conducted in fi cities in the United States between March and May of 2014. Participants (N = 123) included adults who had used cigars, cigarillos, or little cigars in the past 30 days. A semi-structured moderator guide was used to gather data on the terms used to identify cigar product subtypes and the language used to describe the products and their use. Participants used a variety of terms for each product subtype. Brand names were often used, as well as slang terms, including terms describing cigars modified for marijuana use. Some subtypes were less likely than others to be considered “cigars.” Participants had mixed opinions about whether users of cigar products are “smokers.” Users of cigar products may classify or label products differently from researchers and policy makers, and many refer to their product by brand name or a slang term. These fi have implications for future research, instrument design, and public health messaging about cigar products. This study adds to the body of evidence highlighting the challenges for measurement and surveillance of non-cigarette tobacco products, including cigars. Findings illustrate the myriad terms used by consumers to describe their use of cigar product subtypes, as well as the complexity of distinguishing between use of cigar products as intended, versus as a vehicle for smoking marijuana. Future research aimed to enhance specifi of cigar use measures will enable policy-makers and public health practitioners to more fully characterize prevalence and patterns of use by cigar subtype.
