目标.我们研究了烟草控制政策（烟草控制计划支出，无烟空气法，青少年接触法律的遵守情况，香烟价格）对青少年吸烟结果（吸烟易感性，过去一年的开始，目前的吸烟，并建立吸烟）的影响。我们将2002年至2008年全国药物使用和健康调查的数据与美国人口普查局的州和市人口数据相结合，以评估州烟草控制政策变量与青少年吸烟结果之间的关联，重点关注12至17岁的青少年。我们还研究了政策变量对青年访问时，这些变量在2002年的水平。结果。州烟草控制计划的人均资金与所有4种吸烟结果呈负相关。无烟空气法与所有结果呈负相关，除了去年的开始，香烟价格只与目前的吸烟。我们发现这些结果和零售商遵守青年访问laws.Conclusions之间没有关联。无烟空气法和州烟草控制计划是遏制青少年吸烟的有效策略。
Objectives. We examined the influence of tobacco control policies (tobacco control program expenditures, smoke-free air laws, youth access law compliance, and cigarette prices) on youth smoking outcomes (smoking susceptibility, past-year initiation, current smoking, and established smoking).Methods. We combined data from the 2002 to 2008 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health with state and municipality population data from the US Census Bureau to assess the associations between state tobacco control policy variables and youth smoking outcomes, focusing on youths aged 12 to 17 years. We also examined the influence of policy variables on youth access when these variables were held at 2002 levels.Results. Per capita funding for state tobacco control programs was negatively associated with all 4 smoking outcomes. Smoke-free air laws were negatively associated with all outcomes except past-year initiation, and cigarette prices were associated only with current smoking. We found no association between these outcomes and retailer compliance with youth access laws.Conclusions. Smoke-free air laws and state tobacco control programs are effective strategies for curbing youth smoking.
