Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the factors associated with electronic cigarette use by Korean adults. To accomplish this, data collected from 228,477 individuals during a community health survey conducted by the Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2015 were analyzed by descriptive analysis, the Chi-squared test, and logistic regression analysis. The lifetime prevalence of electronic cigarette smoking was 11.1% for men and 0.8% for women. The current prevalence for electronic cigarettes smoking was 24.2% for men and 26.1% for women among lifetime users of electronic cigarettes. The lifetime experience rate of electronic cigarette smoking was significantly associated with age, educational attainment, occupation, income status and current smoking status, respectively. The current universal smoking e-cigarette is significantly related to the current smoking status, which shows a significantly higher number of current smokers than groups that have smoked in the past. The preference for electronic cigarette smoking was high. E-cigarettes were perceived by those who aimed to quit smoking as having a smoking cessation effect compared to regular cigarettes while also providing the pleasure of smoking and addressing the addiction. Therefore, e-cigarettes were highly favored because they were reflected as a solution to the dilemma of smoking. In 2014, electronic cigarette imports tripled from the previous year, and interest in electronic cigarettes is increasing worldwide. Accordingly, measures related to the prevention and discontinuation of e-cigarettes should be considered. Strengthening anti-smoking education and active promotion of anti-smoking risks is needed to improve smokers' wrong perception of smoking-related health. The WHO also reports that there is a lack of grounds to ensure or acknowledge that e-cigarettes are effective. Accordingly, it is important to identify environmental factors influencing the use of electronic cigarettes and explore the relationship between electronic cigarette recognition and use.

이 연구는 한국 성인의 전자담배 사용과 관련된 요소들을 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 카이제곱 검정, 로지스틱회귀분석을 통해2015년 한국질병통제센터에서 실시한 지역건강조사228,477건을 분석하였다. 전자담배평생 유병율이 남성 11.1%, 여성 0.8%로 나타났다. 현재 전자담배 흡연율은 남성이 24.2%, 여성이 26.1%로 였다. 평생전자담배 흡연경험율은 연령 교육수준, 직업, 소득상태 및 현재흡연상태와 각각 유의미하게 관련되어 있었다. 현재의 보편적인 전자담배 흡연이 현 흡연상태와 유의한 관련이 있는 것은 과거에 흡연했던 그룹보다 현재흡연자 그룹이 현저히 높은 경험을 보이고 있는 것이다. 전자담배의 선호는 높았다. 전자담배는 금연을 목적으로 하는 이들이 전자담배가 일반담배에 비해 금연 효과가 있는 것처럼 인식하고 있었고, 흡연에서 오는 쾌감이나 중독성을 만족시켜 주었다. 따라서 전자담배는 흡연에 대한 딜레마에서 벗어날 수 있는 해결책으로 반영되어 선호도가 높았다. 2014년 전자담배 수입은 전년도 대비 약 3배 증가했고 세계적으로도 전자담배에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 우리는 전자담배의 예방과 중단에 관련된 특징을 고려해야 한다. 흡연자들이 잘못된 흡연관련 건강인식을 개선하기 위한 금연교육 강화와 금연 위해성에 대한 적극적인 홍보가 필요하다. WHO에서도 전자담배의 안전성을 담보하거나 효과가 있다고 인정한 근거가 부족하다고 권고하고 있다. 전자 담배의 사용 동기에 있어서 중요한 환경적인 요인들을 확인하고 전자담배인식과 사용에 대한 연관성을 분석하는 연구들을 모색해야 한다.
