This study investigates awareness of and support for Mexico's bans on e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products among adults who smoke.
Data were analyzed from a 2020 survey of adult Mexicans who exclusively smoked cigarettes ( = 1 324) or smoked cigarettes and used e-cigarettes ( = 654). Weighted multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression models estimated crude and adjusted odds ratios (AORs) for awareness of and support for bans on each product, regressing these outcomes on variables for sociodemographic characteristics, product use, perceptions of harms, norms and exposure to advertising.
Weighted results indicated that 27.2% of respondents were aware of the e-cigarette ban and 15.5% supported it. Among the 805 respondents who had heard of heated tobacco products, 32.5% were aware of the ban on them, and 18.8% expressed support. Awareness of the e-cigarette ban was correlated with the frequent use of cigarettes (AOR: 2.15), while awareness of heated tobacco products was associated with current use of them (AOR: 2.36). Awareness of the bans was positively associated with support for them (AOR for e-cigarettes: 1.73; AOR for heated tobacco products: 2.17). Lower support was found among those who perceived the banned product as less harmful than cigarettes (AOR for e-cigarettes: 0.51; AOR for heated tobacco products: 0.32) or perceived information about the banned product as positive (i.e. in contrast to negative or neutral; AOR for e-cigarettes: 0.21; AOR for heated tobacco products: 0.43).
Awareness of and support for bans on e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products were low among Mexicans who smoke, especially among those who use these products or had favorable perceptions of the products and information about them.
本研究调查了吸烟成年人对墨西哥禁止电子烟和加热烟草制品的认知及支持情况。
对2020年一项针对成年墨西哥人的调查数据进行分析，这些成年人要么只吸卷烟（(n = 1324)），要么既吸卷烟又使用电子烟（(n = 654)）。加权多级混合效应逻辑回归模型估计了对每种产品禁令的认知和支持的粗比值比和调整比值比（AOR），将这些结果对社会人口学特征、产品使用、危害认知、规范和广告接触等变量进行回归分析。
加权结果表明，27.2%的受访者知晓电子烟禁令，15.5%的受访者支持该禁令。在805名听说过加热烟草制品的受访者中，32.5%知晓对其的禁令，18.8%表示支持。对电子烟禁令的知晓与频繁吸卷烟相关（AOR：2.15），而对加热烟草制品的知晓与当前使用该产品相关（AOR：2.36）。对禁令的知晓与对禁令的支持呈正相关（电子烟的AOR：1.73；加热烟草制品的AOR：2.17）。在那些认为被禁产品比卷烟危害小的人群中支持率较低（电子烟的AOR：0.51；加热烟草制品的AOR：0.32），或者在那些认为关于被禁产品的信息是正面的人群中支持率较低（即与负面或中性信息相反；电子烟的AOR：0.21；加热烟草制品的AOR：0.43）。
在吸烟的墨西哥人中，对电子烟和加热烟草制品禁令的认知及支持率较低，尤其是在那些使用这些产品或对这些产品及相关信息持好感的人群中。
