1 Thinking Outside the Pack: Examining Physically Active Smokers and Implications for Practice among Ontario Residents Alain P. Gauthier PhD Susan J. Snelling PhD Michael King MSc
2 Tobacco Use It is estimated that tobacco use kills more than 5 million people annually; it is the leading cause of preventable deaths (1). Tobacco use increases the risk of (2): Multiple types of cancers Heart disease Strokes Emphysema Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Osteoporosis Diabetes Infertility In 2007/08, the rate of current smokers in Ontario was 19% (slightly below the national average of 20%).
3 Smoke-Free Ontario A) discouraging youth from smoking (e.g., bans on displaying tobacco products ) B) protecting Ontarians from secondhand and side-stream smoke (e.g., bans on smoking in enclosed public places, vehicles, and workplaces) C) providing programs to help smokers quit (e.g., helplines) (4)
4 What do we know? Researchers have found that physical activity seems to partially mitigate the consequences of smoking (5-8). Physically active smokers are more likely to attempt cessation (9) Physical activity interventions have been found to aid in the success of cessation programs (10, 11). Physically active smokers are more likely to be young, single, and male (9) when compared to inactive smokers.
5 What don t we know? How do physically active smokers differ from physically active non-smokers? Socio-demographic predictors Types of physical activity
6 Purpose The purpose of this study was to profile physically active smokers in order to inform intervention strategies.
7 Methods Research Questions Socio-demographic characteristics of physically active smokers (Ontario) Do these differ from physically inactive smokers? Do these differ from physically active nonsmokers? Types of leisure-time physical activities practiced among active Ontario smokers Do these differ from active non-smokers?
8 Methods Data Source Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) Cross-sectional survey in which information is collected in relation to health status, health care utilization and health determinants for the Canadian population (10). Sharing File - Ontario Sample: 41,800 respondents aged 12 and over

16 Discussion Physical activity interventions for smokers need to be tailored to their activity types/preferences Low cost Low intensity Solitary
17 Conclusion We urge health promotion programmers to consider integrating physical activity into their tobacco control strategies Consider ways to promote physical activity to smokers -- their PA patterns are different from non-smokers but they can be active
