Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 lockdown in Italy resulted in increased smoking consumption, mainly associated with mental distress. This study aims to update previous findings investigating changes in smoking intensity during the whole COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: This analysis was carried out within the "LOST IN ITALY" ("LOckdown and lifeSTyle IN ITALY") and "LOST IN TOSCANA" studies on 880 smokers with information collected during main pandemic peaks. Changes in cigarettes/day were investigated in association with survey-periods, socio-demographic and psychological characteristics through a linear mixed-model.

Results: Net of psychological distress and socio-demographic variables, in comparison to pre-pandemic period cigarettes/day increased by 1.16 during lockdown, and remained over half higher subsequently. In the overall period, an increase of >1 cigarette/day was also associated to lower education, older age, male gender and psychotropics drugs use.

Conclusions: After 2 years of pandemic, cigarettes/day have not yet returned to the pre-pandemic levels, mainly due to socio-demographic factors, but also to nicotine addiction, that tends to stabilize consumption.

新冠肺炎大流行期间，意大利一批吸烟者的吸烟强度发生了变化。

简介：新冠肺炎在意大利的封锁导致吸烟量增加，主要与精神痛苦有关。这项研究旨在更新先前对整个新冠肺炎大流行期间吸烟强度变化的调查结果。方法：这项分析是在“在意大利迷失”（“在意大利放松和生活方式”）和“在托斯卡纳迷失”研究中进行的，研究对象是880名吸烟者，在主要疫情高峰期收集信息。通过线性混合模型，将香烟/天的变化与调查期、社会人口统计和心理特征联系起来进行调查。结果：与疫情前相比，心理困扰和社会人口统计变量的净额在封锁期间增加了1.16支，随后仍高出一半以上。在整个时期，每天吸烟>1支也与教育程度低、年龄大、男性和精神药物使用有关。结论：在大流行2年后，每天的香烟数量尚未恢复到大流行前的水平，这主要是由于社会人口因素，也由于尼古丁成瘾，这往往会稳定消费。
