截至2020年9月，300多个州和地方司法管辖区限制了调味烟草的销售，其中一些包括薄荷醇。为了评估限制销售加味烟草的地方法令的影响，我们调查了加州人对加味烟草的政策支持和感知获取。2019年，我们对通过社交媒体招募的3075名加州青年和年轻人进行了在线调查，其中约一半人生活在政策管辖范围内。Logistic回归评估了倾向得分加权结果、政策支持和感知获取的差异。结果大多数受访者表示同意几乎所有的政策支持声明。尽管政策受访者比加州其他地区的受访者更不可能报告购买调味雪茄的困难，但政策管辖区内的调味电子烟用户比加州其他地区的用户更有可能报告购买调味电子烟液的困难。无论司法管辖区如何，某些优先亚组更有可能报告他们在获得调味雪茄、调味电子烟产品、调味电子液体和薄荷香烟方面感到困难。除了一些例外，这些发现表明，在政策管辖范围和优先亚群体的电子烟用户中，报告认为难以获得调味烟草产品的可能性更高。研究结果可能是加州调味烟草产品社会规范转变的早期迹象，随着地方销售限制条例在整个州扩散，以及全州范围内的调味烟草销售限制生效，这可能会获得吸引力。
Background As of September 2020, more than 300 state and local jurisdictions restrict the sales of flavored tobacco, with some including menthol. Aims o evaluate the impact of local ordinances restricting the sale of flavored tobacco, we surveyed Californians regarding policy support and perceived access to flavored tobacco. Methods In 2019, we conducted an online survey of 3,075 California youth and young adults recruited via social media, about half of whom lived in a policy jurisdiction. Logistic regressions assessed differences on propensity score-weighted outcomes, policy support, and perceived access. Results Most respondents indicated agreement with almost all policy support statements. Although policy respondents were less likely than rest-of-California respondents to report perceived difficulty in buying flavored cigars, flavored vape users in policy jurisdictions were more likely than those in the rest of California to report perceived difficulty in buying flavored e-liquid. Regardless of jurisdiction, certain priority subgroups were significantly more likely to report perceived difficulty in accessing flavored cigars, flavored vaping products, flavored e-liquid, and menthol cigarettes. Discussion With some exceptions, these findings demonstrate that among vape users in policy jurisdictions and priority subgroups, there is a higher likelihood of reporting perceived difficulty to access flavored tobacco products. Conclusions Findings might be an early indication of shifts in social norms about flavored tobacco products in California, which could gain traction as local sales restriction ordinances proliferate throughout the state and a statewide flavored-tobacco sales restriction goes into effect.
