Resumen
ZAVALA-ARCINIEGA, Luis et al. Prevalence, proportion and correlates of flavor capsule cigarette use in Mexico: results from the Ensanut 2018-19. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2020, vol.62, n.6, pp.820-828. Epub 15-Ago-2022. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/11566.
Objective:
To estimate the prevalence of flavor capsule cigarette, use among Mexicans who are 10 years and older, to determine the proportion of smokers who use flavor capsules, and to characterize the sociodemographic correlates of flavor capsule cigarette use.
Materials and methods:
Data came from the National Health and Nutrition Survey 2018-19. The prevalence and proportion of flavor capsule cigarette use were estimated by sex, age, education, and wealth. Poisson models were used to evaluate sociodemographic factors associated with flavor capsule cigarette use.
Results:
Among Mexicans, the prevalence of flavor capsule cigarettes use was 6.6%, which is 43% of all smokers. Women, adolescents, and young adults were more likely than other groups to use flavor capsule cigarettes.
Conclusions:
Mexicans report a high prevalence of flavor capsule cigarette use. Banning cigarettes with flavors may reduce the appeal of smoking, particularly for youth and women.
