背景本研究的目的是评估明尼苏达州全面的全州无烟法对年轻人在餐馆和酒吧吸烟的机会的影响。目的研究该法律对那些生活在以前有和没有当地无烟法令的人的不同影响。方法在明尼苏达州全州无烟法生效前 6-12 个月、前 0-6 个月和后 0-6 个月进行了电话调查。参与者包括来自明尼苏达州人口队列的年轻人 (n = 1446) 和作为比较的其他四个中西部北部州 (n = 238)。结果明尼苏达州参与者中比例较高的人（无论之前的法律如何）表示，与对照组相比，在全州法律实施后，成年人很难在餐馆和酒吧/俱乐部找到吸烟的地方。对于以前没有遵守当地无烟法令的明尼苏达州参与者来说，影响更大。 结论 在明尼苏达州实施全州无烟法的 6 个月内，明尼苏达州的年轻人，甚至那些以前遵守当地禁烟法令的人，都认为成年人在餐馆和酒吧/俱乐部找到吸烟的地方更加困难。改变该州的吸烟机会可能是改变社会规范和吸烟行为的第一步。这些结果表明，除了通过当地法令获得的障碍之外，全州范围内的无烟法律可能会提供额外的吸烟障碍。
BACKGROUNDThe goal of this study was to assess the effects of Minnesota's comprehensive, statewide smokefree law on young adults' perceived opportunities to smoke in restaurants and bars.PURPOSEDifferential effects of the law were examined for those living with and without previous local smokefree ordinances.METHODSTelephone surveys were conducted 6–12 months prior, 0–6 months prior, and 0–6 months after Minnesota's statewide smokefree law went into effect. Participants included young adults from a population-based cohort in Minnesota (n=1446) and from four other Upper Midwest states that serve as a comparison (n=238).RESULTSA greater proportion of Minnesota participants (regardless of previous law) reported it was very hard for an adult to find a place to smoke in both restaurants and bars/clubs after the statewide law, compared to the comparison group. Effects were greater among Minnesota participants who did not live with a local smokefree ordinance previously.CONCLUSIONSWithin 6 months of Minnesota's statewide smokefree law, Minnesota young adults, even those who lived with a prior local smoking ordinance, believed it was more difficult for adults to find a place to smoke in restaurants and bars/clubs. Changing perceived opportunities to smoke in the state may be an initial step in changing social norms and smoking behaviors. These results suggest that statewide smokefree laws may provide additional barriers to smoking, beyond those obtained through local ordinances.
