背景：烟草控制政策可以降低吸烟率。在吸烟率显著下降的地方，这些措施可能不太有效，因为剩下的吸烟者已经“变硬”。我们的目的是在欧盟（EU）的人口水平上实证评估“硬化假说”，并探讨与铁杆smoking.Methods相关的因素：我们进行了两个独立的分析，在欧盟使用的数据吸烟从欧洲晴雨表调查（2009-2017年，n=112745）。1)一项面板数据固定效应线性回归，以调查国家一级标准化吸烟率相关的铁杆吸烟者百分比随时间的变化。2)一项多水平logistic回归分析，包括铁杆吸烟者（每天吸烟≥ 15支，在过去12个月内未尝试戒烟）或轻度吸烟者（
Background: Tobacco control policies can reduce smoking prevalence. These measures may be less effective where smoking prevalence has significantly declined, as the remaining smokers have "hardened". Our aim was to empirically evaluate the "hardening hypothesis" at the population level in the European Union (EU) and explore factors associated with hardcore smoking.Methods: We conducted two separate analyses in the EU using data on smoking from the Eurobarometer surveys (2009-2017, n=112745). 1) A panel-data fixed-effects linear regression to investigate changes over time in the percentage of hardcore smokers in relation to standardised smoking prevalence at the country level. 2) A multilevel logistic regression analysis with hardcore (daily smokers, >= 15 cigarettes per day who have not attempted to quit in the last 12 months) or light (
