摘要: NTRODUCTION: We assessed the prevalence and frequency of waterpipe smoking among adults (aged 18+ years) in Great Britain (GB) determined demographic factors associated with use. METHODS: We used cross-sectional representative population surveys conducted online 2012 2013. A total 12,436 12,171 2013 were recruited from a commercial survey panel. RESULTS: The ever use across both years combined was 11.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 11.0-12.1). Frequent (at least once or twice month) 1.0% CI 0.8-1.2) similar There some suggestion increased but not frequent 18-24-year-olds between years. After adjustment for covariates, females had lower odds than males (odds ratio [OR] 0.71, 95% 0.63-0.79), those lowest social grade compared to highest (OR 0.43, 0.35-0.54), older people at much younger people, having smoked cigarettes use, being Asian 1.84, 1.39-2.45) mixed ethnicity 2.36, 1.64-3.40) likelihood White ethnicity. CONCLUSIONS: Frequent relatively rare these samples GB adult population, Continued monitoring targeted interventions are appropriate.
