In this viewpoint we briefly review the evidence for smoke-free car legislation. We find that this legislation has been consistently associated with reduced secondhand exposure in cars with children/youth in all nine jurisdictions studied. Despite this, there are various aspects of this intervention that warrant further study-especially determining its impact on reducing tobacco-related ethnic inequalities. So we argue that the New Zealand Ministry of Health should invest in a thorough evaluation of this important upcoming public health intervention. This could both help the country in further refining the design of the law (if necessary) and would also be a valuable contribution to advancing the knowledge base for international tobacco control.
在这一观点中，我们简要回顾了无烟汽车立法的证据。我们发现，在所有九个研究的司法管辖区中，这项立法一直与减少车内儿童/青少年的二手烟暴露有关。尽管如此，这一干预措施的各个方面仍值得进一步研究，特别是确定其对减少烟草相关种族不平等的影响。因此，我们认为新西兰卫生部应该对这一即将到来的重要公共卫生干预措施进行全面评估。这既有助于该国进一步完善法律设计（如有必要），也将为推进国际烟草控制的知识基础做出宝贵贡献。
