“…Indeed, globally, smoking among college students is increasing (Smith and Leggat, 2007;Baska et al, 2007), sometimes simultaneously when national trends of smoking are decreasing. For instance, in the USA, whilst national trends indicated a decrease in tobacco use among adolescents and adults (Kopstein, 2001), studies reported a spiky increase in cigarette smoking among college students, especially females (Rigotti et al, 2000).…”

“…For some students these features could mean that they move from prior experimenting with cigarettes to more frequent, steady or heavier use, given that smoking behaviour is unlikely to occur if it does not start during adolescence or young adulthood (United States Department of Health and Human Services 1994), and that stress is consistently associated with initiation to smoking (Byrne et al, 1995). In addition, reports suggest that there is also an increase in intensive tobacco marketing strategies specifically targeted at college student populations (Rigotti et al, 2000), and there has been a recent trend for college students to start smoking .…”

Objectives: This study assessed the associations between socio-demographic, health and wellbeing variables (independent variables) and daily smoking, attempts to quit smoking, and agreement with smoking ban (dependent variables). Methods: Data from 3,706 undergraduate students were collected from seven universities in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland using a standardised questionnaire. Results: About 15.8% of the whole sample reported daily smoking, while 12% were occasional smokers. Smoking was significantly more prevalent among males, but the difference was due to a higher rate of occasional smokers. About every second smoker (55%) had attempted to quit smoking. Almost 45% of the whole sample agreed or strongly agreed with implementing a total smoking ban on campus. Daily smoking was more likely among students with not sufficient income, students whose fathers had at least a bachelor degree; and, students who reported binge drinking. Conversely, daily smoking was less likely among students who rated their health as very good/ excellent, those who ate ≥5 portions of fruit or vegetables, and those who had never taken illicit drugs. Previous attempt/s to quit smoking were more likely among students who have never taken illicit drugs and those who agreed with a total smoking ban; and less likely among those with not sufficient income. Daily smokers were less likely to report quit attempts as compared to occasional smokers. An agreement with smoking ban was more likely among students who rated their health as very good/ excellent, those who ate ≥5 portions of fruit or vegetables daily, and those who had never taken illicit drugs, but less likely among daily smokers. Conclusion: Favourable health practices and positive attitudes towards smoking ban were associated with each other. Interventions would need to comprise multi-component programmes that do not solely focus on smoking prevention/cessation, but also on other health promoting practices as well.

“…Among college students aged 18-24, 51.3% of students who used tobacco reported concurrent use (Rigotti, Lee, & Wechsler, 2000). Studies have also found that adults, Non-Hispanic Whites and American Indians (Spangler et al, 2001), people of low socioeconomic status, heavy drinkers, and those living in rural Southeastern U.S. are also more likely than their comparison groups to engage in multiple tobacco use (Kopstein, 2001;Spangler et al, 2001;, "United States Census Bureau.…”

This paper examines the trends in concurrent use of cigarettes and other tobacco and sociodemographic variables associated with concurrent use among adult cigarette smokers in the United States. Data from the 1995/96, 1998, 2000, and 2001/02 Tobacco Use Supplements to the Current Population Survey were used to estimate concurrent use of tobacco among cigarette smokers among adults ages 18 years and older (n for all 4 survey groups = 552,804). Concurrent use of tobacco fluctuated over the survey periods for current smokers and ranged from 3.7% in 1995/96 to 7.9% in 1998. Results from the multivariate logistic regression indicate that male current, daily, and intermittent smokers had substantially higher odds of concurrent use (OR = 12.9, 11.7, 17.2, respectively) than their female counterparts. Age, race/ethnicity, geographic region, income, and survey years were significantly associated with concurrent use among current and daily smokers; for intermittent smokers, these variables and occupation were significantly associated with concurrent use. The strongest correlates for multiple tobacco use among cigarettes smokers were being male and Non-Hispanic White. These factors should be considered when planning tobacco prevention and control efforts. In addition, surveillance efforts should continue to monitor changes in concurrent

“…Many studies of adolescent smoking, including our own, utilize self-report questionnaires (Ary and Biglan, 1988;Rigotti et al, 2000). Misclassification in self-report data can occur in epidemiological studies, particularly in studies of substance use behaviour and in younger cohorts (Brener et al, 2003;Clarke et al, 2014;Fendrich et al, 2005;Morral et al, 2000).…”

Background-Smoking is influenced by genetic factors including variation in CYP2A6 and CYP2B6, which encode nicotine-metabolizing enzymes. In early adolescence, CYP2A6 slow nicotine metabolism was associated with higher dependence acquisition, but reduced cigarette consumption. Here we extend this work by examining associations of CYP2A6 and CYP2B6 with tobacco dependence acquisition in a larger sample of smokers followed throughout adolescence.Methods-White participants from the Nicotine Dependence in Teens cohort that had ever inhaled (n=421) were followed frequently from age 12-18 years. Cox's proportional hazards models compared the risk of ICD-10 tobacco dependence acquisition (score 3+) for CYP2A6 and CYP2B6 metabolism groups. Early smoking experiences, as well as amount smoked at end of follow-up, was also computed. At age 24 (N=162), we assessed concordance between selfreported cigarette consumption and salivary cotinine.Results-In those who initiated inhalation during follow-up, CYP2A6 slow (vs. normal) metabolizers were at greater risk of dependence (hazards ratio (HR)=2.3; 95% CI=1.1, 4.8); CYP2B6 slow (vs. normal) metabolizers had non-significantly greater risk (HR=1.5; 95% CI=0.8, 2.6). Variation in CYP2A6 or CYP2B6 was not significantly associated with early smoking symptoms or cigarette consumption at end of follow-up. At age 24, neither gene was significantly associated with dependence status. Self-reported consumption was associated with salivary cotinine, a biomarker of tobacco exposure, acquired at age 24 (B=0.37; P<0.001).
