虽然军队中的烟草使用通常被认为是美国军事文化的一部分，但来自平民群体的文献强调，烟草使用因职业领域而异（例如，“白领”与“蓝领”）。这项定性研究的目的是比较美国空军各职业领域的烟草使用情况。飞行员、军事训练教官和技术训练教官参加了5个主要空军技术训练基地的22个焦点小组。焦点小组采用半结构化访谈指南进行面对面访谈，并进行录音。使用传统的内容编码方法对转录本进行编码。参与者描述了不同职业之间的巨大差异，这归因于社会规范和工作性质。职业生涯中大部分时间都在户外的人更有可能允许吸烟。相反，在医学领域，吸烟被视为一种耻辱。此外，无烟烟草被认为在某些职业中很受欢迎，因为它可以在工作中秘密使用。研究结果表明，通过政策和规划来减少烟草使用的一刀切方法可能无法反映军队烟草使用的现实情况。这些发现可能为美国军队中具有类似职业领域的其他分支提供见解。
While tobacco use within the military is often discussed as being homogenously part of U.S. military culture, literature from civilian populations highlights that tobacco use varies by career field (e.g., “white collar” vs. “blue collar”). The objective of this qualitative study was to compare tobacco use by career fields in the U.S. Air Force. Airmen, Military Training Instructors, and Technical Training Instructors participated in 22 focus groups across five major Air Force Technical Training bases. Focus groups were conducted in-person using semi-structured interview guides and were audio-recorded. A conventional content-coding approach was used to code transcripts. Participants described substantial variation across the careers, which was attributed to social norms and the nature of jobs. Individuals in careers that spend most of their time outside were more likely to permit tobacco use. Conversely, tobacco use was seen as stigmatized in medical fields. Additionally, smokeless tobacco was identified as popular in certain careers because it could be used covertly on the job. Findings suggest that a one-size-fits-all approach to reducing tobacco use through policies and programs may not reflect the realities of military tobacco use. These findings may provide insights into other branches of the U.S. military with similar career fields.
