Abstract

Background: The United States is proposing to ban menthol cigarettes. Our objective is to examine the extent of menthol smoking among pregnant women and its association with their health. Methods: Nationally representative study of 14,226 pregnant women aged 18-44 years using the 2004-2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Multivariate regressions estimate the association between menthol smoking and emergency department (ED) and office visits, poor health, mental health, and smoking cessation. Results: In total, 7.0% of pregnant women smoked menthol cigarettes, 7.3% smoked nonmenthol, 11.0% recently quit, and 74.7% were nonsmoking. Lesbian/gay/bisexual women had the highest rates: 18.6% menthol and 11.0% nonmenthol. In the third trimester, 10.4% of Black women smoked menthol and 0.6% smoked nonmenthol (p < 0.01), whereas 5.4% of White women smoked menthol and 8.6% smoked nonmenthol (p < 0.01). From 2004 to 2022, maternal smoking decreased from 16.3% to 5.1%. However, the percentage of pregnant smoking women using menthol increased from 47.0% to 60.1%, with the largest increase among Hispanic women from 43.4% to 78.8% (p < 0.05), compared with a rate of 96.1% among Black women and 49.0% for White women. Pregnant women smoking menthol had 1.6 ED annual visits compared with 1.2 ED visits (p < 0.05) for nonmenthol and 0.6 ED visits (p < 0.05) among the nonsmoking. Among those smoking menthol, 73.7% reported mental health issues compared with 64.4% for nonmenthol. Conclusions: Women who smoke menthols report worse health compared with those smoking nonmenthol. Policies designed to reduce menthol smoking would improve maternal health, especially for minoritized women and those at higher risk for poor birthing outcomes.

薄荷香烟和产妇保健:2004-2022年。
背景:美国正提议禁止薄荷香烟。我们的目的是检查孕妇吸烟薄荷醇的程度及其与健康的关系。方法:采用2004-2022年全国药物使用与健康调查对14226名18-44岁的孕妇进行具有全国代表性的研究。多变量回归估计薄荷醇吸烟与急诊科(ED)和办公室就诊、健康状况不佳、心理健康和戒烟之间的关系。结果:7.0%的孕妇吸烟含薄荷醇香烟,7.3%吸烟不含薄荷醇香烟,11.0%近期戒烟,74.7%不吸烟。女同性恋/男同性恋/双性恋女性的比例最高:18.6%的薄荷醇和11.0%的非薄荷醇。在妊娠晚期,10.4%的黑人妇女吸食薄荷醇,0.6%吸食非薄荷醇(p < 0.01),而5.4%的白人妇女吸食薄荷醇,8.6%吸食非薄荷醇(p < 0.01)。从2004年到2022年,孕产妇吸烟率从16.3%下降到5.1%。然而,怀孕吸烟妇女使用薄荷醇的比例从47.0%增加到60.1%,其中西班牙裔妇女的增幅最大,从43.4%增加到78.8% (p < 0.05),而黑人妇女的比例为96.1%,白人妇女为49.0%。吸烟的孕妇每年ED次数为1.6次,而不吸烟的孕妇每年ED次数为1.2次(p < 0.05),不吸烟的孕妇每年ED次数为0.6次(p < 0.05)。在吸食薄荷醇的人群中,有73.7%的人报告有心理健康问题,而吸食非薄荷醇的人群有64.4%。结论:与吸非薄荷醇的女性相比,吸薄荷醇的女性健康状况更差。旨在减少薄荷烟的政策将改善产妇保健,特别是少数民族妇女和分娩结果不良风险较高的妇女。
