To further explore the views of New Zealand-based Pacific policymakers on smoking in general, smoking in public and private spaces, and smoking around children.
Key informants (n = 18) were recruited and interviewed by Pacific interviewers during May-October 2008, in person or by phone.
The interviews revealed a great depth of feeling about smoking in general, smoking in public places, and smoking around children. There was considerable variance of opinion on the extent to which smokefree areas should be extended, with some informants reluctant to interfere with smokers' "choices" There was a general consensus that adults' right to smoke should be limited by social and ethical responsibilities to children.
The strong feelings found in favour of tobacco control by some of the interviewees is notable. Mobilising such feelings may help facilitate further progress for advancing tobacco control for Pacific communities in New Zealand and for assisting tobacco control in other South Pacific island nations.
进一步探究新西兰太平洋地区政策制定者对于吸烟总体情况、在公共场所和私人场所吸烟以及在儿童周围吸烟的看法。
2008年5月至10月期间，由太平洋地区的访谈人员亲自或通过电话招募了18名关键信息提供者并进行访谈。
访谈揭示了对于吸烟总体情况、在公共场所吸烟以及在儿童周围吸烟的强烈感受。对于无烟区域应扩展到何种程度，意见存在很大差异，一些信息提供者不愿干涉吸烟者的“选择”。普遍达成的共识是，成年人的吸烟权利应受到对儿童的社会和道德责任的限制。
一些受访者对烟草控制表现出的强烈支持值得关注。调动这种情绪可能有助于推动新西兰太平洋社区的烟草控制取得进一步进展，并协助其他南太平洋岛国的烟草控制工作。
