In the Netherlands, between 2003 and 2005, 3 tobacco control measures were implemented: a workplace-smoking ban and 2 tax increases on tobacco products. This study explores how the combination of measures influences the smoking behavior of the general population divided into subpopulations with and without paid work (all aged 16-65 years).
Data from the Dutch Continuous Survey of Smoking Habits were used. The total sample consisted of 32,014 respondents (27,150 with paid work and 4,864 without paid work) aged 16-65 years. Analyses were done by linear and logistic regression, controlling for relevant factors.
For respondents with paid work, the combination of a smoking ban and 2 tax increases led to a decrease in the number of cigarettes per day and in the prevalence of daily smoking. For respondents without paid work, there was no significant effect on any of the outcome parameters. In both groups, there was no evidence that the effect of the measures on smoking was moderated by the respondent's gender, age, or level of education.
The combination of policy measures has influenced the smoking behavior of respondents with paid work in a positive way. Compared with most other studies, the effect of the workplace-smoking ban alone is smaller. However, the effect of the combined interventions is higher than the that of tax increases in other studies. Among respondents without paid work who were exposed to tax increases only, no significant effects were found.
在荷兰，2003 年至 2005 年期间实施了 3 项烟草控制措施：工作场所禁烟和 2 项烟草产品税提高。本研究探讨了这些措施的组合如何影响分为有薪工作和无薪工作人群（所有年龄在 16-65 岁之间）的一般人群的吸烟行为。
使用荷兰连续吸烟习惯调查的数据。总样本由 32014 名受访者（有薪工作 27150 人，无薪工作 4864 人）组成，年龄在 16-65 岁之间。通过线性和逻辑回归进行分析，控制了相关因素。
对于有薪工作的受访者，禁烟和 2 项税收增加的组合导致每天吸烟量和每日吸烟率下降。对于无薪工作的受访者，任何结果参数均无显著影响。在这两个群体中，没有证据表明措施对吸烟的影响受到受访者性别、年龄或教育程度的调节。
政策措施的组合以积极的方式影响了有薪工作受访者的吸烟行为。与大多数其他研究相比，单独实施工作场所禁烟措施的效果较小。然而，联合干预的效果高于其他研究中税收增加的效果。在仅接触税收增加的无薪工作受访者中，未发现显著影响。
