研究發現:吸菸造成生活匱乏者較常嘗試戒菸但成功率較低

Quick Look

澳洲、英國、加拿大與美國對2萬6888名吸菸者的研究顯示,2024年澳洲吸菸者中有18.3%因購菸導致生活必需品不足,稱為「吸菸造成的生活匱乏」。此群體較常嘗試戒菸但成功率僅9.4%,低於未經歷生活匱乏者的12.6%。研究指出,高尼古丁依賴與低戒菸信心是關鍵因素,並建議將菸草稅收入用於戒菸支援而非單純降低菸價。

Why It Matters

研究追蹤2016年至2024年澳洲、英國、加拿大與美國2萬6888名每月至少吸菸一次的成年人,定義因購菸導致無法負擔食物等生活必需品的情況為「吸菸造成的生活匱乏」(SID),並分析其與戒菸行為的關聯。

〔編譯陳成良/綜合報導〕抽菸的代價可能不只是健康損害,還可能直接吃掉家庭生活費。澳洲、英國、加拿大與美國一項最新研究分析2萬6888名吸菸者後發現,2024年澳洲目前吸菸者中,有18.3%曾因把錢花在香菸上,導致沒有足夠經費購買家庭必需品,比例高於英國、加拿大及美國。

醫學新聞網站《Medical Xpress》報導,這項研究刊登於《成癮》(Addiction)期刊,分析2016年至2024年4國2萬6888名每月至少吸菸一次的成年人資料。研究團隊將因購買香菸而無法負擔食物等生活必需品的情況稱為「吸菸造成的生活匱乏」(smoking-induced deprivation,SID)。

請繼續往下閱讀...

2024年,澳洲吸菸者出現這種生活匱乏的比例為18.3%,英國14.3%、加拿大13.0%、美國10.4%。澳洲比例2016年為12%,2022年升至22.7%,2024年回落至18.3%。研究也發現,較低收入、較低教育程度及較高尼古丁依賴,都與這種生活匱乏有關。

花錢買菸的人較常想戒 成功率卻更低

研究的縱向分析顯示,出現「吸菸造成的生活匱乏」者反而比較常嘗試戒菸,但成功率較低。曾出現這種困境者的戒菸成功率為9.4%,沒有出現生活匱乏者則為12.6%。

研究顯示,陷入生活匱乏的吸菸者通常有較高的吸菸依賴程度,對自己成功戒菸的信心也較低。研究作者指出,降低菸價或菸草稅雖可能暫時減輕部分吸菸者的經濟壓力,但也可能降低戒菸誘因,因此主張把菸草稅收入投入戒菸藥物、行為支持及針對高風險族群的戒菸措施。

整體人口受到這類困境影響的比例則呈下降趨勢。澳洲2016年約有1.9%人口出現「吸菸造成的生活匱乏」,2024年降至1.7%,2025年進一步降至1.5%,與同期吸菸人口下降趨勢一致。

Study finds the mechanism of pancreatic cancer cachexia formation: tumor cells, macrophages and cancer-related fibroblasts form a microenvironment

Using single-cell sequencing and spatial transcript analysis, a research team at the University of Oklahoma found that pancreatic cancer cachexia (loss of muscle and fat) is closely related to the microenvironment formed by tumor cells, macrophages and cancer-related fibroblasts. These cell groups appear before obvious weight loss and are expected to be clues for early identification of high-risk patients.

Doctor’s reminder: It takes two weeks for the flu vaccine to produce antibodies, so please take it as soon as possible before going abroad

Wu Yifan, an attending physician at the Department of Family Medicine at Taipei City United Hospital, pointed out that it takes about two weeks after influenza vaccination to produce sufficient antibodies, and called on the public to get vaccinated as early as possible during the epidemic season or before traveling abroad to avoid the protective window period. It is also recommended that high-risk groups consider vaccination against COVID-19 and Streptococcus pneumoniae vaccines, and is reminded to seek medical advice immediately if severe symptoms occur when seeking medical treatment overseas.
