Securing clean indoor air laws is a major tobacco control accomplishment of the past 15 years. The public quickly adopted and supported such policies both in public and private spaces. Clean indoor air is now threatened by the emergence of e-cigarettes. E-cigarette aerosol contains nicotine, heavy metals, and carcinogens, and the long-term effect of secondhand exposure is unknown. Surveillance is necessary to track voluntary rules on smoking and vaping in the home.
The Minnesota Adult Tobacco Survey (MATS) is a series of cross-sectional, random-digit-dial telephone surveys on smoking, vaping, and other tobacco-related behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs among Minnesota adults. MATS measured voluntary smoke-free rules in the home in 2014 (N = 9,304) and measured both smoke-free and vape-free home rules in 2018 (N = 6,055).
The prevalence of smoke-free home rules among Minnesota adults in 2018 was 91.5% (95% CI, 90.5%-92.5%), up slightly from 89.3% (95% CI, 88.4%-90.2%) in 2014. In comparison, 84.0% (95% CI, 82.7%-85.3%) reported vape-free home rules. Although 70.0% (95% CI, 66.0%-73.0%) of smokers in 2018 reported smoke-free home rules, only 23.3% (95% CI, 15.0%-31.6%) of e-cigarette users reported vape-free home rules. Living with children younger than 18 years significantly increased the odds of having smoke-free and vape-free home rules.
Although widespread adoption of voluntary smoke-free and vape-free home rules demonstrates a positive change in social norms, most e-cigarette users allow vaping in their homes, including those who live with children younger than 18. Tracking voluntary smoke-free and vape-free home rules and efforts to encourage them are important to improve the public's health.
在过去的 15 年中，确保室内空气清洁是控烟工作的一项重大成就。公众迅速在公共和私人场所接受并支持这些政策。现在，室内空气清洁受到电子烟的威胁。电子烟的气溶胶含有尼古丁、重金属和致癌物质，而二手烟暴露的长期影响尚不清楚。有必要进行监测，以跟踪家庭中吸烟和蒸气的自愿规定。
明尼苏达州成人烟草调查（MATS）是一项针对明尼苏达州成年人吸烟、蒸气和其他与烟草相关行为、态度和信仰的系列横断面、随机数字拨号电话调查。MATS 在 2014 年（N=9304）测量了家庭中自愿无烟规则，并在 2018 年（N=6055）测量了家庭中既无烟又无蒸气规则。
2018 年明尼苏达州成年人家庭中无烟规则的流行率为 91.5%（95%CI，90.5%-92.5%），略高于 2014 年的 89.3%（95%CI，88.4%-90.2%）。相比之下，84.0%（95%CI，82.7%-85.3%）报告家庭中无蒸气规则。尽管 2018 年 70.0%（95%CI，66.0%-73.0%）的吸烟者报告家庭中无烟规则，但只有 23.3%（95%CI，15.0%-31.6%）的电子烟使用者报告家庭中无蒸气规则。与 18 岁以下儿童同住显著增加了家庭中既无烟又无蒸气规则的可能性。
尽管广泛采用自愿的无烟和无蒸气家庭规则表明社会规范发生了积极变化，但大多数电子烟使用者允许在家庭中蒸气，包括与 18 岁以下儿童同住的人。跟踪自愿的无烟和无蒸气家庭规则并鼓励遵守这些规则对于改善公众健康非常重要。
