Tobacco advertising exposure increases tobacco use among youth. Data were from a largely racial and ethnic minority sample (60% non-Hispanic (NH) Black/African American) of youth (13-18 years) who were nonsmokers susceptible to future tobacco use ( = 686) or current cigarette smokers ( = 674). Regression models tested associations between tobacco advertisement exposure and smoking status, and determined demographic correlates. Nearly all youth recalled seeing a tobacco advertisement (98%), which was associated with smoking (OR = 1.12; 95% CI = 1.08-1.15). Racial minority youth had higher exposure to tobacco advertising. Policies restricting advertisements for all tobacco products are essential for prevention efforts and may help decrease tobacco-related health disparities.
烟草广告暴露会增加青少年的烟草使用。数据来自于一个主要由少数族裔组成的样本（60%非西班牙裔（NH）黑人/非裔美国人），其中包括易受未来烟草使用影响的青少年（ = 686）或当前的香烟吸烟者（ = 674）。回归模型检验了烟草广告暴露与吸烟状况之间的关联，并确定了人口统计学相关性。几乎所有的青少年都记得看到过烟草广告（98%），这与吸烟有关（OR=1.12；95%CI=1.08-1.15）。少数族裔青少年接触烟草广告的比例更高。限制所有烟草产品广告的政策对于预防工作至关重要，这可能有助于减少与烟草相关的健康差距。
