“…For example, occasional smoking may lead to regular daily smoking and addiction (DiFranza et al 2002;Moran et al 2004;Scragg et al 2008); this outcome is consistent with the higher prevalence of smoking among young adults compared to other age groups and with evidence that the age of smoking initiation has increased . Young adults who transition from school to university or workplace settings experience fundamental changes in their social contexts and identity that may promote smoking among occasional smokers, and foster their progression to daily smoking (Kenford et al 2005). Nicotine dependence can occur during this transition (DiFranza et al 2000), even among occasional smokers (Dierker et al 2007).…”

There is evidence that smoking and alcohol consumption are paired behaviours among university students, but we know little about how New Zealand students engage in these behaviours. We estimated prevalence of daily and occasional smoking among university students, and associations of smoking with drinking patterns, demographics and smokefree policies of the university. This research was conducted with 2822 university students, aged 17-25, from five New Zealand universities who participated in an online health survey in 2013. Fourteen percent reported they currently smoke occasionally, and 3% reported smoking on a daily basis. Increasing age, living situation, drinking more often, and drinking more alcohol during drinking occasions were all associated with greater levels of smoking. Understanding patterns of smoking in relation to alcohol consumption may help efforts to further reduce smoking prevalence. Specifically, policy makers should consider approaches that de-couple tobacco and alcohol consumption, such as expanding the smokefree perimeter of bars and disallowing the sale of tobacco at premises licensed to sell alcohol.

“…Low-level daily or low-rate daily also has a range of defi nitions from fewer than 5 CPD or no more than 5 CPD ( Kenford et al, 2005 ;Zhu, Sun, Hawkins, Pierce, & Cummins, 2003 ) to, collectively, the group averaging fewer than 10 CPD ( Zvolensky et al, 2007 ). Low-rate smoker is defi ned more consistently as no more than 5 CPD or 1 -5 CPD ( Etter, 2004 ;Owen, Kent, Wakefi eld, & Roberts, 1995 ), but low-level smoker or low-level use has more varied defi nitions ranging from nondaily or no more than 1 pack per week to 1 -20 CPD ( Arcavi, Jacob, Hellerstein, & Benowitz, 1994 ;Dierker et al, 2007 ;Hatsukami et al, 2006 ;Hyland, Rezaishiraz, Bauer, Giovino, & Cummings, 2005 ;Mucha, Stephenson, Morandi, & Dirani, 2006 ).…”

“…The variation is in how nondaily smoking is defi ned: specifi cally, whether a defi nition is descriptive but imprecise ( " nondaily, " " some-day use, " " occasional, " " occasional but not regularly " ); whether a minimum is specifi ed for lifetime consumption (e.g., at least 100 cigarettes or 100 times); or whether the defi nition is based on cigarettes smoked per day, average number of cigarettes smoked per day, or days or times smoked in a week or a month ( Biener & Albers, 2004 ;Borland, 1994 ;DiFranza et al, 2000 ;Etter, 2004 ;Etter, Le Houezec, & Perneger, 2003 ;Evans et al, 1992 ;Fergusson & Horwood, 1995 ;Fornai et al, 2001 ;Gilpin et al, 1997 ;Hennrikus, Jeffery, & Lando, 1996 ;Hines, Fretz, & Nollen, 1998 ;Hines, Nollen, & Fretz, 1996 ;Holmen, Barrett-Connor, Holmen, & Bjermer, 2000 ;Kenford et al, 2005 ;Koontz et al, 2004 ;Luoto, Uutela, & Puska, 2000 ;McDermott, Dobson, & Owen, 2007 ;Morley et al, 2006 ;Okuyemi et al, 2004 ;Okuyemi, Richter, et al, 2002 ;Paavola, Vartiainen, & Puska, 2001 ;Sargent, Mott, & Stevens, 1998 ;Stanton et al, 2007 ;Stone & Kristeller, 1992 ;Wetter et al, 2004 ;Zhu et al, 2003 ).…”

“…risk for cancer ( Bjartveit & Tverdal, 2005 ), myocardial infarction ( Prescott, Scharling, Osler, & Schnohr, 2002 ), and cardiovascular mortality (Prescott et al), and relative to current nonsmokers, respiratory symptoms . Second, the literature as to whether light smokers escalate their rates of smoking over time is inconsistent ( Kenford et al, 2005 ;Levy, Biener, & Rigotti, 2009 ). Third, light smokers are less often advised than heavier smokers to quit smoking by their health care providers ( Koontz et al, 2004 ;Owen, Kent, Wakefi eld, & Roberts, 1995 ) and are less likely to receive treatment overall ( Tong, Ong, Vittinghoff, & Pérez-Stable, 2006 ).…”

Discussion: Intermittent and daily light smokers differ on several tobacco-related and psychosocial variables. Attending to these factors in prevention and cessation programs may enhance abstinence in both groups. IntroductionSmoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States ( Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2004 ). Despite a decrease in smoking among middle-aged and older adults, young adult smoking prevalence declines are smaller, and reductions in moderate to heavy smoking have been accompanied by an increase in prevalence of light and intermittent smoking ( Pierce, White, & Messer, 2009 ). One group of young adults who demonstrate high rates of smoking are individuals serving in the military ( Bray et al., 2006 ;Nelson & Pederson, 2008 ).Two subgroups of smokers who have received growing attention ( Fiore et al., 2008 ) and have yet to be examined among military personnel are light and intermittent (i.e., nondaily) smokers. Both young adults ( Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Agency, 2004 ) and ethnic minorities ( Ahluwalia et al., 2006 ;Rodriguez-Esquivel, Cooper, Blow, & Resor, 2009 ;Trinidad et al., 2009 ) are predominant in the military and evidence high rates of low-level smoking. Therefore, light and intermittent smoking are likely to be especially common in this group.A pattern of maintaining low levels of smoking has multiple implications. First, relative to never smoking, even light smoking is deleterious to health such that light smokers are at increased Abstract Introduction: Few studies have assessed differences between intermittent and light smokers, particularly among young adults. Exploring these differences promotes a systematic approach to research and treatment in low-level smokers. This study explored demographic, tobacco-related, and psychosocial predictors of intermittent nondaily smoking relative to light smoking among basic military training (BMT) recruits. The impact of smoking status on abstinence rates at follow-up was also assessed.Methods: Participants were 5,603 U.S. Air Force BMT intermittent nondaily ( n = 3,134) or light daily ( n = 2,469) smoking recruits participating in a population-based group randomized trial targeting tobacco use prevention and cessation , Effi cacy of a tailored tobacco control program on long-term use in a population of U.S. military troops.

Participants completed baseline measures assessing demographics; tobacco use and history; and common social, attitudinal, and behavioral risk factors for tobacco use. Flights of recruits were randomly assigned to a tobacco use intervention or health education control intervention. At the 1-year follow-up, participants reported 7-day point prevalence and continuous abstinence. Results:Intermittent nondaily smoking relative to light daily smoking was associated with lesser perceived addiction, intermittent and daily use of smokeless tobacco, nonsmoking male and fe...
