To assess the factors associated with support for reducing tobacco retail availability and ending the legal sale of cigarettes in Australia and New Zealand (NZ).
Cross-sectional surveys were conducted in NZ (eight universities, n=1,932) and Queensland (University of Queensland or UQ, n=5,172). Participants were asked how much they agreed or disagreed with reducing the number of places allowed to sell cigarettes/tobacco and ending the legal sale of cigarettes within 10 years. Multinomial logistic regression models assessed associations between support with student characteristics.
More than half the respondents in both samples supported reducing the number of tobacco outlets (NZ 69.3%; UQ 62.3%), and ending the legal sale of cigarettes within 10 years (NZ 53.3%; UQ 51.6%) with marginally more support among NZ students. Men and students who smoked or vaped had lower odds of supporting both strategies compared with women and non-users.
The results suggest widespread support for reducing tobacco retail availability among university students in NZ and Queensland, and sex, and smoking and vaping status were strong predictors for support. Around half supported phasing out tobacco sales within 10 years.
Collaborative research should be encouraged to enhance cross-country approaches on tobacco control.
评估与支持减少澳大利亚和新西兰（新西兰）烟草零售供应和终止香烟合法销售相关的因素。
在新西兰（八所大学，n=1932）和昆士兰州（昆士兰大学或 UQ，n=5172）进行了横断面调查。参与者被问及他们在多大程度上同意或不同意在 10 年内减少允许销售香烟/烟草的场所数量和终止香烟的合法销售。多项逻辑回归模型评估了支持与学生特征之间的关联。
两个样本中超过一半的受访者都支持减少烟草销售点的数量（新西兰 69.3%；UQ 62.3%），并在 10 年内终止香烟的合法销售（新西兰 53.3%；UQ 51.6%），新西兰学生的支持率略高。与女性和非使用者相比，男性和吸烟或使用电子烟的学生对这两种策略的支持率较低。
结果表明，新西兰和昆士兰州的大学生普遍支持减少烟草零售供应，性别、吸烟和使用电子烟状况是支持的重要预测因素。大约一半的人支持在 10 年内逐步淘汰烟草销售。
应鼓励开展合作研究，以加强烟草控制方面的跨国方法。
