Outline
Objective To analyze the tobacco epidemic status among residents in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, evaluate the effectiveness of tobacco control, and propose improvement strategies.
Methods A multistage sampling method was used to select 1 969 households across the district for home visits and surveys. Weighted data analysis was performed using R 4.3.3 software.
Results The current smoking rate among residents in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, was 13.56% (95%CI: 10.01%-17.72%), which was lower than the level of Shenzhen City in 2022 (19.07%), with males having a higher rate than females (, P<0.01). The current use rate of e-cigarettes was 1.98%, with the age range concentrated between 25 and 44 years old, and the rate in males was higher than that in females (, P<0.05). The smoking cessation rate was 19.52% (95%CI: 11.69%-29.37%). The smoking cessation attempt rate was 55.01% (95%CI: 41.57%-67.98%). The main quitting method was dry quitting, 22.09% (95%CI: 14.66%-30.96%). The exposure rate to second-hand smoke was 57.17% (95%CI: 49.89%-64.25%). Among places with second-hand smoke exposure, the exposure rate in restaurants was the highest (33.23%) (95%CI: 28.46%-38.25%). In terms of awareness of the harms of smoking, 32.73% knew that smoking can cause impotence, and only 28.38% were aware of all four diseases (stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, and impotence) caused by smoking. The awareness rate of all three diseases (adult heart disease, children’s lung diseases, and adult lung cancer) caused by second-hand smoke exposure was 43.62%.
Conclusion The smoking rate among residents in Nanshan District, Shenzhen City has been effectively controlled, but challenges persist, including youth-oriented e-cigarette use, severe second-hand smoke exposure, and insufficient awareness of tobacco-related harms. Strengthening enforcement of smoking bans in public spaces, improving smoking cessation services, and enhancing targeted health education are urgently needed.
