This study evaluated compliance with regulations prohibiting smoking in public places by using a new method of smoking simulation.
Sites in Sabadell, Spain, were visited by observers who lit a cigarette, simulating the act of smoking, and noted the placement and content of signs indicating smoking restrictions.
A warning was given in only 17% of sites. A significant association was observed between the presence of signs banning smoking and the elicitation of a warning from people present.
Simulating the violation of smoking restrictions may be used as an efficient method of assessing enforcement of the prohibition of public smoking.
本研究通过一种新的吸烟模拟方法评估了公共场所禁烟规定的遵守情况。
观察员走访了西班牙萨瓦德尔的一些场所，他们点燃香烟，模拟吸烟行为，并记录了标明吸烟限制的标志的位置和内容。
只有17%的场所给出了警告。观察到禁止吸烟标志的存在与在场人员发出警告之间存在显著关联。
模拟违反吸烟限制的行为可作为评估公共场所禁烟规定执行情况的一种有效方法。
