The solution to the problem of tobacco use is complicated when adolescents are faced with numerous risk factors. Alaska has a partnership between federal, state, and private interest groups and individuals who are committed to addressing the problem. This partnership is being expanded through the creation of additional local alliances. Each of the partners has influenced state policies on the control of the use of tobacco products. Because of the difficulty in changing adolescent behavior through education and information there is a need to decrease access to the offending products. A proven way to decrease access and adolescent use of tobacco products is raising the cost of the products through higher excise taxes.
当青少年面临众多风险因素时,烟草使用问题的解决变得复杂。阿拉斯加在联邦、州以及致力于解决该问题的私人利益集团和个人之间建立了合作伙伴关系。这种伙伴关系正通过创建更多的地方联盟得以扩展。每个合作伙伴都对该州控制烟草制品使用的政策产生了影响。由于通过教育和宣传来改变青少年行为存在困难,因此有必要减少对有害产品的获取途径。一种经证实的减少烟草制品获取途径及青少年使用量的方法是通过提高消费税来提高产品价格。
