背景：印度政府通过颁布全面的烟草控制立法（《卷烟和其他烟草产品法》[COTPA]，2003 年），采取了各种烟草控制举措。 目的：本研究的目的是评估 COTPA 第 4、5、6-a 和 6-b 以及第 7、8 和 9 节在公共场所、教育机构、销售点 (PoS)、拉贾斯坦邦阿尔瓦尔区公共场所的包装警告（COTPA）。方法：2014 年在阿尔瓦尔市和该区的四个街区进行了一项横断面观察研究。这项研究围绕 365 个公共场所进行，以观察 COTPA 第 4 条的遵守情况；357 个教育机构，以观察 COTPA 第 6-b 条的遵守情况；以及 357 个烟草零售商，以观察 COTPA 第 5 条和 6-a 条的遵守情况。 结果：评估标准（核心指标）和地区是否有资格获得“无烟”状态的决策标准包括六个参数。在参观的总共 365 个场所中，90% 的场所展示了“禁止吸烟”标志，而在总共 328 个场所中，99% 的场所符合 COTPA 规范。 Alwar 市、Ramgarh、Thanagaji 和 Alwar 农村街区遵循了第 4 节的规定。PoS 访问的 Alwar 区显示了 93% (332) 的标牌，并且所有显示的标牌都遵循了 COTPA 合规性。在阿尔瓦尔市、塔纳加吉、拉姆加尔和阿尔瓦尔农村地区，第 6-a 条的遵守率超过 90%。 Alwar 市、Ramgarh、Thanagaji 和 Alwar 农村地区第 6-b 条的遵守率超过 90%。百分之九十三 (332) 的 PoS 没有在阿尔瓦尔区展示烟草广告，这是遵守 COTPA 的积极信号。结论：这一发现表明阿尔瓦尔区对 COTPA 第 4 条、第 5 条、第 6-a 条和第 6-b 条的遵守程度很高。

The study was done around 365 public places for observing the compliance of Section 4 of COTPA, 357 educational institutions for observing the compliance of Section 6-b of COTPA, and 357 tobacco retailers for observing the compliance of Sections 5 and 6-a of COTPA.RESULTS: The criteria for the evaluation (the core indicators) and decision criteria for a district to qualify for the "Smoke free" status include six parameters. From the total of 365 places visited, 90% places displayed the "No-smoking" signage and out of total 328 places, 99% were as per the COTPA specification. Alwar city, Ramgarh, Thanagaji, and Alwar rural block followed the compliance of Section 4. The PoS visited Alwar district displayed 93% (332) signage and all the displayed signage followed the COTPA compliance.

The compliance of Section 6-b was above 90% in Alwar city, Ramgarh, Thanagaji, and Alwar rural block. Ninety-three percent (332) of the PoS did not display tobacco advertisement in Alwar district, which is a positive sign of COTPA compliance.CONCLUSION: This finding suggest a high level of compliance of Section 4, Section 5, Section 6-a, and Section 6-b of COTPA at Alwar district.
