Abstract:
Objective:To analyze different smoking behaviors and their influencing factors of middle school students in Fujian Province in 2021.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study based on the data of the National Tobacco Epidemic Survey in Fujian Province in 2021. A multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to investigate tobacco prevalence among middle school students at 10 monitoring points in Fujian province in 2021. A total of 7 681 subjects were investigated and 7 652 subjects were included in the study. The tobacco prevalence rates of different smoking behaviors were compared and the influencing factors were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.Results:In 2021, the attempted smoking rate of middle school students in Fujian Province was 15.2%, the current smoking rate was 2.9%, and the regular smoking rate was 1.1%. Among the students with the 14 factors investigated, there were statistically significant differences in smoking behavior rates ( P<0.05). The students with the factor of "good friends smoking" had the highest rate of trying smoking (34.9%) (χ 2=825.65).The students with the factor of " feeling more comfortable with social smoking" had the highest rate of current smoking (16.0%) (χ 2=492.75). The students with the factor of "social smoking makes people more comfortable" had the highest rate of regular smoking (9.0%) ( χ2=334.56) ( P<0.001 for all). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of different smoking behaviors were different. Among them, male students, good friends who smoke, students who think that social smoking makes people more comfortable, and not receiving tobacco control information from the media were common risk factors for middle school students to try smoking, smoke currently and smoke frequently. The most significant risk factors for different smoking behaviors were: (1) Attempted smoking rate: good friends smoking (34.9%, OR=3.402); (2) current smoking rate: good friends smoking (9.9%, OR=9.417); (3) regular smoking rate: social smoking makes people more comfortable (9.0%, OR=18.383). Urban students ( OR=0.666) were the protective factor for trying smoking; general high school ( OR=0.424) was a protective factor for smoking. Conclusions:In 2021, middle school students in Fujian Province have three types of smoking behaviors: try smoking, current smoking and frequent smoking. The common main influencing factors are gender, whether good friends smoke, social smoking makes people more comfortable, and whether they have accepted tobacco control messages from the media.
