Objective.本研究探讨在何种程度上“共同礼貌的做法”是通过非吸烟者在吸烟者的存在时，在澳大利亚的维多利亚州，在公共场所吸烟的限制是相对全面的。在2004年和2005年对4,765名18岁及以上的非吸烟者进行了两次具有代表性的人口电话调查。只有5.5%的非吸烟者表示，如果有人在附近点燃香烟，他们会要求对方停止吸烟。大多数非吸烟者（74.7%）表示他们会搬走，16.4%的人表示他们不会做任何事情。Vv'hen问他们，如果在公共场所，旁边有人问他们是否介意他们吸烟，他们会怎么做，48.8%的非吸烟者报告说，如果他们不吸烟，他们会说他们更喜欢它，而28.0%的人报告说，他们会告诉那个人，他们不介意当他们希望那个人不吸烟时。总体而言，46.7%的非吸烟者表示，如果有人问他们这个问题，他们会同意暴露在二手烟中。我们的研究结果强调了无烟政策在保护很大一部分不吸烟人口方面的重要性，这些人仍然不太可能单独保护自己。(C)2007爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Objective. This study examines the extent to which the 'common courtesy approach' is adopted by non-smokers when in the presence of smokers, in the state of Victoria, Australia, where restrictions on smoking in public places are relatively comprehensive.Method. 4,765 non-smokers aged 18 years and over were surveyed over two representative population telephone-administered surveys of randomly sampled Victorians conducted in 2004 and 2005.Results. Only 5.5% of non-smokers said they would ask a person to stop smoking if they lit up a cigarette nearby. The majority of non-smokers (74.7%) reported they would move away and 16.4% said they would do nothing. Vv'hen asked what they would do if, in a public place, someone next to them asked if they minded whether they smoked, 48.8% of non-smokers reported they would say they would prefer it if they didn't smoke, while 28.0% reported that they would tell the person they don't mind when they would prefer that person not smoke. Overall, 46.7% of non-smokers indicated they would consent to be exposed to second-hand smoke if someone asked them this question.Conclusions. Our findings underline the importance of smoke-free policies in protecting a significant proportion of the non-smoker population, who remain unlikely to protect themselves individually.
