This article reports a study evaluating the effects of implementing smoking bans among drug-using prisoners in Taiwan. Seventy-seven new entrants were recruited in May 2008. Six focus groups were conducted in a prison-based treatment center, the only prison with a total smoking ban in Taiwan. All the subjects were male and their average age was 37 years. Three general reactions to the ban were identified across all focus groups: (a) unfair/hypocritical policy; (b) being forced to stop smoking; and (c) finding ways to smoke anyway. Future studies should compare the effects of total versus partial smoking bans among drug abusers in prison to better explore policy options.
本文报告了一项评估在台湾吸毒囚犯中实施禁烟令效果的研究。2008 年 5 月招募了 77 名新囚犯。在台湾唯一全面禁烟的监狱内的一个监狱治疗中心进行了 6 次焦点小组讨论。所有参与者均为男性，平均年龄为 37 岁。所有焦点小组都发现了对禁烟令的三种普遍反应：（a）不公平/虚伪的政策；（b）被迫戒烟；和（c）想方设法吸烟。未来的研究应比较监狱中吸毒者全面禁烟与部分禁烟的效果，以更好地探索政策选择。
