Tobacco control policies, aiming at reducing youth's access to tobacco, revealed positive outcomes and were implemented in most of the European countries. A naturalistic field study was conducted to assess retailer compliance with a regional ban forbidding selling tobacco products to youths under the age of 18 in a Swiss canton. Results revealed that, 20 months after implementation, the ban was respected by about one out of seven retailers and compliance did not improve significantly over the following 24-month period. Potentials for concrete improvements were observed and a call for stronger implementation at the regional and local levels was made.
烟草控制政策旨在减少青少年接触烟草的机会，已在大多数欧洲国家实施，并取得了积极成果。本研究采用自然主义田野研究方法，评估了瑞士某州实施的一项地区禁令的执行情况，该禁令禁止向 18 岁以下青少年出售烟草产品。结果表明，在禁令实施 20 个月后，约有七分之一的零售商遵守了禁令，而在接下来的 24 个月内，遵守情况并没有显著改善。研究观察到了具体的改进潜力，并呼吁在地区和地方层面加强执行力度。
