The present research explored the role that culture plays in smokers' description of their risk perceptions and experiences as targets of moralization.
We conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with 15 smokers each from Denmark (a smoking-lenient culture) and the USA (a smoking-prohibitive culture).
Smokers said they were well aware of the risks of smoking yet minimized the risks of active and passive smoking; Danes were particularly likely to minimize these risks. Smokers also described many experiences as targets of moralization and accepted some elements of moralized attitudes although overall Danes more strongly rejected moralized opinions. Smokers described adjusting to moralization by changing when and where but not how much they smoked.
It is important to consider cultural influences on moralization and risk perception of smoking.
本研究探讨了文化在吸烟者描述其对风险的认知和作为道德化目标的经验中所扮演的角色。
我们对来自丹麦（一个对吸烟宽容的文化）和美国（一个禁止吸烟的文化）的 15 名吸烟者进行了深入的定性访谈。
吸烟者表示，他们非常清楚吸烟的风险，但却最小化了主动和被动吸烟的风险；丹麦人尤其有可能最小化这些风险。吸烟者还描述了许多被道德化的经历，并接受了一些被道德化的态度，尽管总体来说，丹麦人更强烈地拒绝道德化的观点。吸烟者通过改变吸烟的时间和地点来适应道德化，但不会改变吸烟量。
考虑文化对吸烟的道德化和风险认知的影响很重要。
