We examined the influence of tobacco control policies (tobacco control program expenditures, smoke-free air laws, youth access law compliance, and cigarette prices) on youth smoking outcomes (smoking susceptibility, past-year initiation, current smoking, and established smoking).
We combined data from the 2002 to 2008 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health with state and municipality population data from the US Census Bureau to assess the associations between state tobacco control policy variables and youth smoking outcomes, focusing on youths aged 12 to 17 years. We also examined the influence of policy variables on youth access when these variables were held at 2002 levels.
Per capita funding for state tobacco control programs was negatively associated with all 4 smoking outcomes. Smoke-free air laws were negatively associated with all outcomes except past-year initiation, and cigarette prices were associated only with current smoking. We found no association between these outcomes and retailer compliance with youth access laws.
Smoke-free air laws and state tobacco control programs are effective strategies for curbing youth smoking.
我们考察了烟草控制政策（烟草控制项目支出、无烟空气法、青少年禁烟法律遵守情况和香烟价格）对青少年吸烟结果（吸烟易感性、过去一年的开始吸烟、当前吸烟和已确立的吸烟）的影响。
我们将 2002 年至 2008 年全国药物使用和健康调查的数据与美国人口普查局的州和市人口数据相结合，评估了州烟草控制政策变量与青少年吸烟结果之间的关联，重点关注 12 至 17 岁的青少年。我们还在这些变量保持在 2002 年水平的情况下，考察了政策变量对青少年获取烟草的影响。
州烟草控制计划的人均资金与所有 4 种吸烟结果均呈负相关。无烟空气法与除过去一年开始吸烟以外的所有结果均呈负相关，而香烟价格仅与当前吸烟有关。我们没有发现这些结果与零售商遵守青少年禁烟法律之间的关联。
无烟空气法和州烟草控制计划是遏制青少年吸烟的有效策略。
