目的：了解自20世纪90年代中期以来，菲利普莫里斯国际公司（PMI）在雷诺烟草公司（RJR）和英美烟草公司（BAT）的支持下制定的旨在“容纳”吸烟者的“选择礼遇”方案在拉丁美洲的实施情况和效果。方法：分析烟草行业内部文件、BAT“社会报道”、新闻报道和控烟立法。自20世纪90年代中期以来，PMI，BAT和RJR推动了住宿计划，以保持吸烟的社会可接受性。与世界其他地区一样，跨国烟草公司与拉丁美洲酒店业的第三方盟友建立了伙伴关系。该运动从酒店业（酒吧、餐馆和酒店）扩展到其他场所，如工作场所和机场休息室。一个当地的公共关系机构，以及一个由通风系统工程师和其他专家组成的网络，被雇用来促进烟草业的方案。这些运动在几个国家的最重要的成果是防止有意义的无烟政策，无论是在公共场所和Works.Conclusions：礼貌的选择仍然是一个有效的公共关系运动，以破坏无烟政策在拉丁美洲。烟草公司的迁就运动破坏了《世界卫生组织烟草控制框架公约》所呼吁的保护人们免受二手烟危害的措施的实施，使人们在室内封闭环境中长期暴露于烟草烟雾。
Objective: To understand the implementation and effects of the Courtesy of Choice programme designed to "accommodate" smokers as an alternative to smoke-free polices developed by Philip Morris International (PMI) and supported by RJ Reynolds (RJR) and British American Tobacco ( BAT) since the mid-1990s in Latin America.Methods: Analysis of internal tobacco industry documents, BAT "social reports", news reports and tobacco control legislation.Results: Since the mid-1990s, PMI, BAT and RJR promoted Accommodation Programs to maintain the social acceptability of smoking. As in other parts of the world, multinational tobacco companies partnered with third party allies from the hospitality industry in Latin America. The campaign was extended from the hospitality industry ( bars, restaurants and hotels) to other venues such as workplaces and airport lounges. A local public relations agency, as well as a network of engineers and other experts in ventilation systems, was hired to promote the tobacco industry's programme. The most important outcome of these campaigns in several countries was the prevention of meaningful smoke-free policies, both in public places and in workplaces.Conclusions: Courtesy of Choice remains an effective public relations campaign to undermine smoke-free policies in Latin America. The tobacco companies' accommodation campaign undermines the implementation of measures to protect people from second-hand smoke called for by the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, perpetuating the exposure to tobacco smoke in indoor enclosed environments.
