导论.尼古丁电子香烟（NECs）正变得越来越受欢迎，作为一种潜在的更安全的替代烟草，但很少有人知道他们的主观影响，包括可能的性别差异。方法：参与者是新西兰吸烟者无意戒烟（N = 357），谁从来没有使用过NEC。在2012年11月至12月的一次采访中，参与者抽样调查了NEC，并在10点视觉模拟量表上对NEC和他们自己品牌的烟草进行了满意度评级。在2013年1月1日烟草消费税增加10%后，于2013年2月至3月再次联系参与者。结果：总体参与者对NEC的满意度为83.3%。女性对NEC的评价高于男性。在同意再次接受采访的人（n = 227）中，37.8%的人表示他们已经减少或改变了吸烟习惯，7%的人在2013年2月至3月戒烟。NEC的满意度评级预测吸烟习惯的变化和尼古丁依赖性的减少后，控制协变量，包括人口统计学变量，工厂制造与卷自己的烟草偏好，和addiction scores.Conclusion：吸烟者的第一印象NEC是非常有利的，并与准备改变后，烟草税增加。NEC似乎对女性吸烟者特别有吸引力，它们的使用可能有助于提高女性尼古丁替代疗法的疗效。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Introduction. Nicotine electronic cigarettes (NECs) are becoming increasingly popular as a potentially safer alternative to tobacco but little is known regarding their subjective effects, including possible gender differences.Method: Participants were New Zealand smokers with no intention to quit (N = 357) and whom had never used an NEC. During an interview in November-December 2012, participants sampled an NEC and rated it and their own-brand tobacco for satisfaction on a 10-point visual analogue scale. Participants were contacted again in February-March 2013 after a 10% increase in the tobacco excise tax on 1 January 2013.Results: Overall participants rated NECs 83.3% as satisfying as own-brand tobacco. Females rated NECs more highly than males. Of those who agreed to be re-interviewed (n = 227), 37.8% said they had cut back or made a change in their smoking habit and 7% had quit in February-March 2013. NEC satisfaction ratings predicted changes in smoking habit and reductions in nicotine dependence after controlling for covariates including demographic variables, factory-made vs. roll-your-own tobacco preference, and addiction scores.Conclusion: Smokers' first impressions of NECs were very favourable, and were correlated with readiness to change after a tobacco tax increase. NECs appear to be particularly attractive for female smokers, and their use may help to improve the efficacy of nicotine replacement therapy for women. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
