Abstract

Introduction: Cigarette SMOKING is a known cause of systemic disorders such as bronchogenic carcinoma and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to estimate PREVALENCE of SMOKING in 30-70 year old MEN in Semnan province in IRAN.Materials and Methods: This survey was conducted in a sample population of 1695 MEN 30-70 years old, in October 2005 to February 2006 in both rural and urban areas of Semnan province. A multistage clustered sampling was performed with, first, 760 clusters (households) selected randomly using a systematic sampling technique. Then one or two more households in the neighborhood of each of the former households were also selected. Finally, in each household a 30-70 year old person was randomly selected and asked to complete a questionnaire.Results: The overall PREVALENCE of current cigarette SMOKING in MEN 30-70 years old was 24.1% (95% confidence interval: 22.1-26.1%). 18.3% of them were daily and 5.8% occasional smokers.26.8% of rural and 23.0% city resistant ADULTs were cigarette smokers (P=0.053). PREVALENCE of cigarette SMOKING in under 40, 40-49, 50-59 and³60 years were 21.1%, 32.6%, 25.1% and 11.9%, respectively (all, P<0.001). 19.7% of illiterates, 24.9% of primary, 30.8% of intermediate, 25.4% of high school and 11.8% of university level education were cigarette smokers (P<0.001). 46.6% of them before, and 39.2% between 21-30 years have started cigarette SMOKING. Mean (±SD) age for starting cigarette SMOKING was 24.1±8.0 years. PREVALENCE of cigarette SMOKING in Semnan, Damghan, Garmsar and Shahrood were 22.5, 23.2, 27.6 and 23.4% (P=0.554), respectively. Only 0.1% and 1.6% of them were pipe and TOBACCO smokers, respectively. 0.4% TOBACCO SMOKING was simultaneously with cigarette SMOKING. 15.2% non-cigarette smokers were passive smokers. Overall, 39.3% of Semnan province ADULTs, aged 30-70 years, were active or passive cigarette smokers.Conclusion: Findings showed that PREVALENCE of cigarette SMOKING in Semnan province in ADULTs aged 30-70 years is high. Therefore, a community-based multiple strategies are required to combat with increasing rate of cigarette SMOKING and its complications.
