Abstract

This study examined the ENDS use and their associations with conventional cigarette smoking and nicotine addiction among Asian Americans (AAs). The study sample was restricted to Non-Hispanic AAs (n = 1,956) using the National Adult Tobacco Survey (NATS) 2013–2014. Chi-square tests and logistic regressions were employed. AAs who ever used ENDS reported they were more likely to smoke conventional cigarettes, smoke ≤100 cigarettes in a lifetime, and felt more difficulty concentrating without using tobacco than those who never used END. Study findings indicate that ENDS use may be associated with conventional cigarette smoking and may lead to nicotine addiction among AAs.

 抽象的

这项研究调查了亚裔美国人 (AA) 中 ENDS 的使用及其与传统吸烟和尼古丁成瘾的关系。使用 2013-2014 年全国成人烟草调查 (NATS)，研究样本仅限于非西班牙裔 AA（ n = 1,956）。采用卡方检验和逻辑回归。曾经使用过 ENDS 的 AA 报告说，与从未使用过 ENDS 的人相比，他们更有可能吸传统香烟，一生吸 ≤ 100 支香烟，并且在不使用烟草的情况下更难以集中注意力。研究结果表明，电子尼古丁传送系统的使用可能与传统吸烟有关，并可能导致 AA 中的尼古丁成瘾。
