BACKGROUND
On June 22, 2009, the US FDA was granted the authority to regulate tobacco products through the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA). The intent is to improve public health through regulations on tobacco product marketing and tobacco products themselves. This manuscript reports baseline data on smokers' attitudes and beliefs on specific issues relevant to the FSPTCA.
METHOD
Between November 2009 and January 2010, a telephone survey among a nationally representative sample of n = 678 smokers in the US was performed as part of the International Tobacco Control (ITC) United States Survey. Participants answered a battery of questions on their attitudes and beliefs about aspects of the FSPTCA.
RESULTS
Most smokers were unaware of the new FDA tobacco regulations. Smokers indicated support for banning cigarette promotion and nearly a quarter supported requiring tobacco companies to sell cigarettes in plain packaging. Seventy two percent of smokers supported reducing nicotine levels to make cigarettes less addictive if nicotine was made easily available in non-cigarette form.
CONCLUSION
Most smokers were limited in their understanding of efforts to regulate tobacco products in general. Smokers were supportive of efforts to better inform the public about health risks, restrict advertising, and make tobacco products less addictive.
背景
2009 年 6 月 22 日，美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）通过《家庭吸烟预防及烟草控制法案》（FSPTCA）获得了监管烟草产品的权力。其目的是通过对烟草产品营销和烟草产品本身的监管来改善公众健康。本文报告了吸烟者对与 FSPTCA 相关的具体问题的态度和看法的基线数据。
方法
2009 年 11 月至 2010 年 1 月，作为《国际烟草控制（ITC）美国调查》的一部分，在美国进行了一项针对 678 名吸烟者的全国代表性样本的电话调查。参与者回答了一系列关于他们对 FSPTCA 各个方面的态度和看法的问题。
结果
大多数吸烟者不了解新的 FDA 烟草法规。吸烟者表示支持禁止香烟促销，近四分之一的人支持要求烟草公司以普通包装销售香烟。如果尼古丁在非香烟形式中容易获得，72%的吸烟者支持降低尼古丁水平，使香烟的成瘾性降低。
结论
大多数吸烟者对烟草产品的一般监管努力的理解有限。吸烟者支持努力更好地告知公众健康风险、限制广告和降低烟草产品的成瘾性。
