PURPOSE
Examine adolescents' and young adults' (AYAs) knowledge and perceptions about the composition and environmental harms of cigarette filters and determine how perceptions are associated with support for policy interventions.
METHODS
Cross-sectional, convenience sample from 10 California schools. AYAs (N = 429; 70% < 21 years) were surveyed about tobacco use, perceptions of cigarette filters, their impact on the environment, and cigarette sales bans.
RESULTS
Most agreed that filters are harmful to the environment and not biodegradable (89%, n = 383 respectively); fewer knew filters are made of plastic (43%, n = 185). AYAs who agreed that filters are harmful to the environment were more supportive of cigarette sales bans (OR = 2.78 [95% CI: 1.18, 6.58]).
CONCLUSIONS
Knowledge of the environmental harms of cigarettes among AYAs may strengthen support for tobacco control. More research is needed to further understand the knowledge and attitudes about the environmental impact of tobacco and to clarify how this might add support for tobacco-related policies.
目的
调查青少年和年轻人（AYAs）对香烟过滤嘴成分和环境危害的了解和看法，并确定这些看法与支持政策干预之间的关系。
方法
在加利福尼亚州的 10 所学校中采用横断面、便利抽样方法，对 AYAs（N=429；70%<21 岁）进行关于烟草使用、对香烟过滤嘴的看法、其对环境的影响以及香烟销售禁令的调查。
结果
大多数人认为过滤嘴对环境有害且不可生物降解（分别为 89%，n=383）；较少人知道过滤嘴是由塑料制成的（43%，n=185）。认为过滤嘴对环境有害的 AYAs 更支持香烟销售禁令（OR=2.78[95%CI：1.18，6.58]）。
结论
AYAs 对香烟环境危害的认识可能会加强对烟草控制的支持。需要进一步研究，以更深入了解有关烟草对环境影响的知识和态度，并阐明这如何可能为与烟草相关的政策提供支持。
