Abstract Objective To examine trends in cigar ette smoking behaviour by region of the United States from 1965 to 1987. Design Survey. Setting US population. Participants Random population based samples (9000 to 89000) of adults aged ^ 20 years from 12 national health inter view surveys. Main outcome measures Cigarette smoking prevalence, initiation, and cess ation. Results Prevalence declined markedly in all four regions over time. The mag nitude of the declines varied significantly among the regions; it was highest in the northeast and the west and lowest in the south. Some of these differences can be explained by differences in the magnitude of the changes in initiation and quitting among the regions. The south had the smallest decline in initiation and the smallest increase in quitting while the northeast had the greatest decline in initiation and the greatest increase in quitting. Differences in education ex plained only some of these regional dif ferences. In both education groups (no college education and some college edu cation) smoking behaviour changed the most in the northeast and the west, and changed the least in the south. However, these differences were only significant in the no college group. Moreover, smoking behaviour changed more in the higher education group than in the lower edu cation group in all four regions. Conclusions The public health com munity needs to intensify its anti-smok ing efforts in the south, particularly for those who have not attended college. Monitoring geographical variations in smoking behaviour in other parts of the world would help identify high risk areas where smoking behaviour is changing slowly or not changing and would in crease the effectiveness of local tobacco control programmes. |
