目的：本研究评估直接社会和法律谴责与当前吸烟状况在加利福尼亚的韩国后裔之间的关系。设计：数据来自基于人口的概率样本，采用双语专业访谈者进行电话调查（N = 2085）。约85.0%的合格受访者完成了访谈，86.3%的受访者更喜欢用韩语接受访谈。主要结果测量：吸烟状况使用疾病控制和预防中心的标准测量，曾经吸烟100支，目前每天或几天吸烟。结果和结论：在一些情况下，被他人立即批评的报告与不吸烟有关，但立即受到法律处罚的可能性与之无关。参与者对法律制裁的期望远低于对社会制裁的期望。在控制了吸烟的强化因素和生态相关变量（包括吸烟模型、吸烟的主要群体社会支持、文化适应、性别、性别（男性）互动、年龄和教育程度的文化适应）后，结果得到了重复。有针对性的公共卫生干预措施可能是有效的，这些措施鼓励对朝鲜后裔在公共场所吸烟进行适当的社会制裁，并鼓励严格执行对在公共场所吸烟的法律处罚。
Objective: This study assesses the association of immediate social and legal reprimand and current smoking status among Californians of Korean descent. Design: Data were drawn from a population-based probability sample using a telephone survey conducted by bilingual, professional interviewers (N = 2085). About 85.0% of eligible respondents completed interviews and 86.3% of participants preferred to be interviewed in Korean. Main Outcome Measure: Smoking status was measured using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria, ever smoked 100 cigarettes and currently smoke every day or some days. Results and Conclusion: Reports of immediate criticism by others in several settings was associated with nonsmoking, but likelihood of immediate legal penalties was unrelated. Participants were far less likely to expect legal than social sanction. Results were replicated after controlling for reinforcers of smoking and ecologically relevant variables including models of smoking, primary group social support for smoking, acculturation, sex, acculturation by sex (male) interaction, age, and education. It may be efficacious to target public health interventions encouraging appropriate social sanctions of smoking in public among persons of Korean descent, and to encourage strict enforcement of legal penalties for smoking in public places.
