To examine the outcome of the recent implementation of a smoke-free policy in drugstores in Thailand, comparing participants and non-participants of the 100% smoke-free drugstore campaign promoted by the Thai Pharmacy Network for Tobacco Control (TPNTC).
A cross-sectional survey of 3600 drugstores in Thailand.
Smoking prevalence on the premises, the number of stores displaying no-smoking signs, and the number of stores selling cigarettes were examined.
In total, 1001 questionnaires were returned (27.8% response rate). Smoking prevalences inside and outside drugstores in the past month were 26.4% and 84.7%, respectively. Seven percent of drugstores had at least one staff member who smoked tobacco. Overall, 63.3% of drugstores displayed no-smoking signs, as required by law. Compared with non-participating drugstores, those which participated in the TPNTC smoke-free campaign more frequently reported that they had asked smokers to stop smoking/leave the premises, in addition to possessing and displaying no-smoking signs.
Approximately one-third of drugstores in this survey did not meet the terms of the recent smoke-free regulation. The TPNTC campaign improved the compliance of drugstores with the law in various aspects. This study was considered a pilot study, and despite the low response rate, the findings suggest a need for further action to ensure that all drugstores comply with the law and are 100% smoke-free.
考察泰国最近实施药店全面禁烟政策的结果，比较泰国药房烟草控制网络（TPNTC）推动的 100%禁烟药店运动的参与者和非参与者。
对泰国 3600 家药店进行的横断面调查。
检查场所有无吸烟、有无张贴禁烟标志和有无销售香烟的情况。
共收回 1001 份问卷（27.8%的回复率）。过去一个月药店内和外的吸烟率分别为 26.4%和 84.7%。有 7%的药店至少有一名员工吸烟。总体而言，63.3%的药店按照法律要求张贴了禁烟标志。与未参与的药店相比，参与 TPNTC 无烟运动的药店更频繁地报告说，他们已要求吸烟者停止吸烟/离开场所，此外还拥有和张贴了禁烟标志。
在本调查中，约有三分之一的药店不符合最近禁烟法规的要求。TPNTC 运动在各个方面提高了药店对法律的遵守程度。本研究被认为是一项试点研究，尽管回复率较低，但调查结果表明，需要采取进一步行动，确保所有药店都遵守法律，实现 100%无烟。
