Teens acquire tobacco from social sources. This study examined factors related to young adults providing tobacco products to minors. Variables such as demographics, rate and method of provision, attitudes toward provision, and youth access restriction laws were measured. A sample of 250 college students completed the survey. About 33.2% of those young adults were asked to provide tobacco to minors, and 30.8% of these students provided it. Students in health-related majors were as likely to be approached and to provide tobacco as were nonhealth majors. Males were more likely to be approached and to provide tobacco to minors than were females. Convenience stores and gas stations were the most popular locations. Young adults favored laws that restrict minors from purchasing tobacco, and their intention to give tobacco in the future was the best predictor of providing tobacco to minors.
青少年从社交渠道获取烟草。本研究调查了与年轻人向未成年人提供烟草制品相关的因素。对人口统计学、提供的频率和方式、对提供行为的态度以及青少年获取限制法律等变量进行了测量。250名大学生参与了此次调查。约33.2%的年轻人被要求向未成年人提供烟草，其中30.8%的学生照做了。与健康相关专业的学生与非健康专业的学生一样，都有可能被要求提供烟草并实际提供。男性比女性更有可能被要求向未成年人提供烟草，且实际提供的可能性也更大。便利店和加油站是最常见的提供地点。年轻人支持限制未成年人购买烟草的法律，而他们未来提供烟草的意愿是向未成年人提供烟草的最佳预测指标。
