Comprehensive tobacco control policies for US colleges and universities have been proposed by several groups in order to counter the rising use of tobacco by students enrolled in these institutions. Student opinion of these policies is not known, and concern about student opposition is one barrier that deters administrators from adopting the policies. This study measured student support for recommended college tobacco control policies.
Mailed survey of US college students (2001 Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study).
119 nationally representative, four-year colleges and universities in the USA.
10,904 randomly selected undergraduate students enrolled at participating schools.
Students' opinion of 7 proposed tobacco control policies.
A majority of students supported each policy. Over three quarters of students favoured smoke-free policies for all college buildings, residences, and dining areas, while 71% supported prohibiting tobacco advertising and sponsorship of campus social events, 59% favoured prohibiting tobacco sales on campus, and 51% supported smoke-free campus bars. All policies had more support among non-smokers than smokers (p < 0.001). Among smokers, support for policies was inversely related to intention to quit and intensity of tobacco consumption. Because college students' tobacco consumption is low, a majority of smokers favoured banning smoking in college buildings and dining areas and prohibiting tobacco marketing on campus.
Student support for proposed campus tobacco control policies is strong, even among smokers, and broadly based across demographic subgroups. These findings should provide reassurance to college administrators who are considering adopting these policies.
为应对美国高校学生吸烟率上升的问题，多个组织提出了全面的烟草控制政策。目前尚不清楚学生对这些政策的看法，而担心学生反对是阻碍管理人员采用这些政策的一个因素。本研究衡量了学生对推荐的高校烟草控制政策的支持度。
对美国大学生进行邮寄调查（2001年哈佛公共卫生学院大学生酒精研究）。
美国119所具有全国代表性的四年制高校。
从参与学校中随机抽取的10904名本科生。
学生对7项拟议的烟草控制政策的看法。
大多数学生支持每项政策。超过四分之三的学生赞成在所有教学楼、宿舍和餐饮区实施无烟政策，71%的学生支持禁止烟草广告和校园社交活动的赞助，59%的学生赞成禁止在校园内销售烟草，51%的学生支持校园酒吧无烟。所有政策在非吸烟者中的支持率均高于吸烟者（p<0.001）。在吸烟者中，对政策的支持与戒烟意愿和烟草消费强度呈负相关。由于大学生的烟草消费量较低，大多数吸烟者赞成在教学楼和餐饮区禁止吸烟，并禁止在校园内进行烟草营销。
学生对拟议的校园烟草控制政策的支持力度很大，即使在吸烟者中也是如此，并且在不同人口亚组中具有广泛的基础。这些发现应该会让正在考虑采用这些政策的高校管理人员放心。
