电子烟的使用在美国年轻人中很普遍。从历史上看，地方社区一直是采取循证烟草控制政策的催化剂。然而，一些州有最高优先购买法，防止在市或县一级颁布更严格的法规，并抑制烟草控制的努力。目前的研究记录了各州在电子烟广告、许可证、室内清洁空气和青少年获取方面的优先法律。我们对各州法规进行了系统的综合，以确定有电子烟优先购买法的州。收集了四种优先政策类别的数据：广告、许可证、清洁室内空气和青少年获取。编写法律，并使用Westlaw法律数据库对内容进行验证。在美国，25个州在55项法律中抢先制定了更严格的地方电子烟法规。在这些州中，有19个优先广告条例，11个优先许可证要求，4个优先室内清洁空气条例，21个优先青少年接触。描述先发制人的术语范围很广，但很少有州明确使用“先发制人”一词。电子烟上限优先法律阻碍了公共卫生进展，阻碍了地方当局解决电子烟在青少年中流行的问题。应该鼓励没有优先购买法的州采用明确保护地方权力的语言。
E-cigarette use is prevalent among youth in the United States. Historically, local communities have been a catalyst for adopting evidence-based tobacco control policies. However, some states have ceiling preemption laws that prevent more stringent statutes from being enacted at the city or county level and inhibit tobacco control efforts. The current study documents state preemption laws regarding e-cigarette advertising, licensure, indoor clean air, and youth access. We conducted a systematic synthesis of state statutes to identify states with e-cigarette preemption laws. Data were collected on four policy categories being preempted: advertising, licensure, clean indoor air, and youth access. Laws were compiled, and the content was verified using the Westlaw legal database. In the US, 25 states preempt stricter local e-cigarette regulations in 55 laws. Of these states, 19 preempt advertising regulations, 11 preempt licensure requirements, four preempt ordinances for indoor clean air, and 21 preempt youth access. A broad range of terms was employed to describe preemption, yet few states explicitly used the term “preempt.”E-cigarette ceiling preemption laws inhibit public health progress and prevent local authorities from addressing the popularity of e-cigarettes among adolescents.States without preemption laws should be encouraged to adopt language that expressly saves local authority.
