Knowledge of current public opinion is important as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) applies the best scientific evidence available to tobacco product regulation. Based on a nationally representative survey of the US adult population, we report 43% support for banning of cigarettes, 65% for reducing nicotine, and 77% for reducing nicotine if such an action could cause fewer children to become addicted to cigarettes. The FDA should consider protecting children by removing all but non-addictive cigarettes from the marketplace.
了解当前的公众意见很重要,因为食品和药物管理局(FDA)将应用现有最佳科学证据来监管烟草产品。基于一项针对美国成年人口的全国代表性调查,我们报告称,有 43%的人支持禁止香烟,65%的人支持降低尼古丁含量,77%的人支持降低尼古丁含量,如果这样做可以减少儿童对香烟上瘾的可能性。FDA 应该考虑通过将除非成瘾性香烟以外的所有香烟从市场上移除来保护儿童。
