“…Given that a large proportion of prisoners report that they want to quit smoking, 42,44 these findings underscore the need for evidence-based, culturally appropriate interventions tailored to the prison environment, to tackle the high rates of smoking among prisoner populations. 45 By contrast, daily cannabis use was independently associated with alcohol dependence for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants, although the point estimate for Indigenous prisoners was considerably larger than that for non-Indigenous prisoners. In addition to alcohol and tobacco, cannabis appears to be a key drug of concern, particularly for Indigenous prisoners, with 37% reporting daily cannabis use prior to incarceration.…”

“…Although self-reported stress seems to be clearly related to reduced smoking abstinence ( Fiore et al, 2008 ), the relationship between boredom relief and relapse to smoking has been inconsistent ( McEwen, West, & McRobbie, 2008 ;Richmond et al, 2006 ), and no studies of the impact of boredomrelated smoking and cessation are noted. Future studies of intermittent and light smokers should consider these situations as Note .…”

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...

Zusammenfassung Ziel der Studie: Aus Deutschland liegen bisher kaum empirische Befunde zum Rauchverhalten, zur Passivrauchbelastung und der Bereitschaft zur Reduktion des Tabakkonsums von Gefangenen sowie zu den verf?gbaren bzw. erw?nschten Hilfeangeboten in den Gef?ngnissen vor. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie ist es daher, eine belastbare wissenschaftliche Basis zu erarbeiten, die es erm?glicht, effektive und f?r alle Beteiligten akzeptable Konzepte des Nichtraucherschutzes im Setting Gef?ngnis zu entwickeln und zu implementieren. Methodik: Im vierten Quartal 2011 wurden in insgesamt 15 Haftanstalten 1?285 Gefangene schriftlich befragt. Deskriptive Analysen sind sowohl f?r die Gesamtstichprobe als auch differenziert nach Art der Haftanstalt (M?nner, Frauen, Jugend) vorgenommen worden. Ergebnisse: 79% der befragten Gefangenen sind aktuelle Raucher. ?berwiegend wird in den Zellen geraucht. 56% sind der Auffassung, dass ihr Tabakkonsum aufgrund der Inhaftierung zugenommen hat. Jeder zweite aktuell rauchende H?ftling hat w?hrend der Haft schon einen Abstinenzversuch unternommen. Angebote zur Tabakentw?hnung werden in den Haftanstalten jedoch nur vereinzelt vorgehalten. 76,3% aller Gefangenen (inkl. Nichtraucher) geben an, dem Passivrauch ausgesetzt zu sein. Hiervon stark bel?stigt f?hlen sich vor allem die Nichtraucher. Belastet ist die Raumluft insbesondere in den Zellen, den Freizeitr?umen sowie den Arbeitsst?tten. W?hrend bei den Nichtrauchern ein vollst?ndiges Rauchverbot mehrheitlich Zustimmung findet, ist die Akzeptanz einer solchen Ma?nahme in der (gro?en) Gruppe der Raucher nur dann gegeben, wenn die Haftr?ume hiervon ausgenommen werden. Schlussfolgerung: Die hohe Raucherrate und die ausgepr?gte Motivation zur Reduzierung des Tabakkonsums unter den Gefangenen stehen im Widerspruch zu den geringen tabakbezogenen Hilfeangeboten in den Gef?ngnissen. Eine Intensivierung des Nichtraucherschutzes und die Implementierung von Ma?nahmen zur Pr?vention und Behandlung der Nikotinsucht sind daher dringend angeraten.
