To assess the pharmacy profession's perceptions of tobacco sales in US pharmacies and explore whether a policy prohibiting sales of tobacco in pharmacies would alter adult consumer shopping behaviour.
In California, surveys were administered to 1168 licensed pharmacists and 1518 pharmacy students, and telephone interviews were conducted with 988 adult consumers.
Most (58.1%) licensed pharmacists were strongly against sales of tobacco in pharmacies, 23.6% were against it, 16.7% were neutral, 1.2% were in favour of it, and 0.4% were strongly in favour of it. Pharmacists who were current tobacco users were more likely to be in favour of tobacco sales in pharmacies than were pharmacists who were current non-users (p < 0.005). Similar statistics were observed for pharmacy students. Most consumers (72.3%) disagreed with the statement, "I am in favour of tobacco products being sold in drugstores"; 82.6% stated that if the drugstore where they most commonly shopped were to stop selling tobacco products, they would shop there just as often, 14.2% would shop there more often, and 3.2% would shop there less often.
Little professional or public support exists for tobacco sales in pharmacies.
评估美国药学专业人士对美国药房销售烟草的看法,并探讨禁止在药房销售烟草的政策是否会改变成年消费者的购物行为。
在加利福尼亚州,对1168名持牌药剂师和1518名药学专业学生进行了调查,并对988名成年消费者进行了电话访谈。
大多数(58.1%)持牌药剂师强烈反对在药房销售烟草,23.6%表示反对,16.7%持中立态度,1.2%表示支持,0.4%表示强烈支持。当前吸烟的药剂师比当前不吸烟的药剂师更倾向于支持在药房销售烟草(p<0.005)。药学专业学生的情况类似。大多数消费者(72.3%)不同意“我支持在药店销售烟草产品”这一说法;82.6%的人表示,如果他们最常光顾的药店停止销售烟草产品,他们会像以前一样经常去那里购物,14.2%的人会更经常去,3.2%的人会减少去那里购物的频率。
对于在药房销售烟草,几乎没有专业人士或公众的支持。
