背景：为了有效地解决烟草使用带来的健康负担，烟草控制项目必须找到激励吸烟者戒烟的方法。本研究调查了前吸烟者戒烟的动机在多大程度上受到最近在滑铁卢地区引入的两项烟草控制政策的影响：当地的无烟条例和香烟的图形警告标签。方法：2001年10月对加拿大安大略省西南部191例戒烟者进行了随机数字电话调查。在过去三年内戒烟的前吸烟者对影响他们决定戒烟并帮助他们保持戒烟的因素进行了评分。结果：36%的前吸烟者将无烟政策作为戒烟的动机。在全面禁烟条例实施后戒烟的前吸烟者引用禁烟条例作为戒烟动机的可能性是在禁烟条例实施前戒烟的前吸烟者的3.06倍（CI95 = 1.02-9.19）。共有31%的参与者还报告说，香烟警告标签促使他们戒烟。在引入新的图形警告标签后戒烟的前吸烟者引用警告作为戒烟影响的可能性是引入之前戒烟的前吸烟者的2.78倍（CI95 = 1.20-5.94）。最后，在接受调查的所有前吸烟者中，38%的人报告说，无烟政策帮助他们保持戒烟，27%的人报告说，警告标签帮助他们做到了这一点。结论：更严格的无烟和标签政策对戒烟动机的影响更大。
Background: To effectively address the health burden of tobacco use, tobacco control programs must find ways of motivating smokers to quit. The present study examined the extent to which former smokers' motivation to quit was influenced by two tobacco control policies recently introduced in the Waterloo Region: a local smoke-free bylaw and graphic cigarette warning labels.Methods: A random digit-dial telephone survey was conducted with 191 former smokers in southwestern Ontario, Canada in October 2001. Former smokers who had quit in the previous three years rated the factors that influenced their decision to quit and helped them to remain abstinent.Results: Thirty-six percent of former smokers cited smoke-free policies as a motivation to quit smoking. Former smokers who quit following the introduction of a total smoke-free bylaw were 3.06 (CI95 = 1.02-9.19) times more likely to cite smoking bylaws as a motivation to quit, compared to former smokers who quit prior to the bylaw. A total of 31% participants also reported that cigarette warning labels had motivated them to quit. Former smokers who quit following the introduction of the new graphic warning labels were 2.78 (CI95 = 1.20-5.94) times more likely to cite the warnings as a quitting influence than former smokers who quit prior to their introduction. Finally, 38% of all former smokers surveyed reported that smoke-free policies helped them remain abstinent and 27% reported that warning labels helped them do so.Conclusion: More stringent smoke-free and labelling policies were associated with a greater impact upon motivations to quit.
