Abstract:

Objective To investigate the situation of smoking,passive smoking and quitting smoking,and the cognitive and the attitudes towards tobacco-rela
ted harm among adults in Jilin province,and to provide basis for formulatting tobacco control policies in Jilin province.Methods By multi-stage stratified ran
dom cluster sampling methods,a total of 21 435 adults aged 18-79 years old  were enrolled in the questionnaire survey and physical examination.After being weighted according to the complex sampling scheme and post-stratification,the sample was used to estimate the prevalence rates of smoking,quitting smoking and passive smoking,and the cognitive of tobacco-related knowledge and attitudes towards smoking control of adults in Jil
in province.Results The prevalence  rate of smoking was 31.8%,and it was higher  in the  male than the female (52.9%  vs  9.4%，P<0.001),and it was
higher in rural area than  urban area (33.2%  vs  30.7%，P<0.01). The prevalence rates of smoking were significantly different among the adults with different ages,educations,marriages,occupations and month  incomes per family (P<0.001).The prevalence rate of quitting smoking of the adults in Jilin province was 18.6%,and the rates  were significantly  different among the adults with different ages,marriages,occupations and month incomes per family (P<0.001).The passive smoking rate of the adults in Jilin province was 60.5%.People encountered passive smoking mostly at home and  workplace (33.4% and 21.7%).The percentages of supportting non-smoking in public places and restaurants and increasing the efforts of government’s tobacco contr
ol  were 93.4%,92.0%,and 93.9%,respectively.The cognitive rate of tobacco-related knowledge of the female was higher than the  male (P<0.001),and the
cognitive  rate of the people in rural was less than that in  cities (P<0.05).The cognitive rate of “the harm of low-tar content cigarettes being similar to common cigarettes” was low,which was only 15.3%.ConclusionThe prevalence rates  of smoking and passive smoking are higher than those in 20
02, and the cognitive  rate  of tobacco-related knowledge is low,and the rate of supporting tabocco control  of the  adults in Jilin province is high.
