简介现有的媒体研究审查与烟草 21 (T21) 相关的新闻内容，早于大多数 T21 法律的通过。本研究考察了 2012 年至 2020 年间美国流通量最大的印刷媒体资源中对 T21 法律的讨论。 目的和方法使用 Access World News 和 Factiva 进行系统数据库搜索，确定了 2012 年 1 月至 2020 年 12 月期间每个州流通量最大的日报上出现的与 T21 相关的新闻文章（n = 586 篇文章）。内容分析记录了与支持或反对 T21 法律的论据框架相关的流行程度、文章类型和背景。结果 2019 年 T21 的报纸报道率最高（占文章的 42.8%）。大多数是新闻或专题（75.4%），其次是社论或观点（24.6%），主要支持 T21。大多数文章重点关注州或地方 T21 行动。 2019 年，联邦 T21 的覆盖范围有所增加。支持 T21 最常见的论点包括减少青少年烟草流行率（64.8%），而最常见的反对意见是侵犯自由（25.1%）。烟草和电子烟行业在2019年开始表达对T21的支持。结论美国州级T21的新闻报道从2015年开始增加，并在2019年随着具有新闻价值的联邦T21的颁布而达到顶峰。随着各州通过和修改 T21 法律以与联邦法律保持一致，倡导者可以利用媒体来帮助塑造叙事并鼓励强有力的 T21 政策。 意义 这项研究描述了 2012 年至 2020 年 T21 印刷媒体报道的数量和内容，包括用于支持和反对 T21 的常见论点。支持 T21 的论点包括减少青少年烟草使用，特别是电子烟的使用以及相关的健康影响，而反对 T21 的论点则侧重于个人权利。对 T21 的支持在 2019 年达到了一个转折点，包括烟草业反对此类法律的转变。各国可以而且应该继续改进现有的 T21 法律和政策，并提高公众对检查程序和处罚等关键政策组成部分的认识。
IntroductionExisting research on media examining the news content related to Tobacco 21 (T21) predate the adoption of most T21 laws. This study examined the discussion of T21 laws in top-circulating print media sources in the United States between 2012 and 2020.Aims and MethodsSystematic database searches using Access World News and Factiva identified T21-related news articles appearing in the top daily circulating newspapers in each state between January 2012 and December 2020 (n= 586 articles). Content analyses documented prevalence, types of articles and context related to framing of arguments for or against T21 laws.ResultsNewspaper coverage of T21 was highest in 2019 (42.8% of articles). The majority were news or features (75.4%) followed by editorials or opinions (24.6%) which largely supported T21. Most articles focused on state or local T21 action. Coverage of federal T21 increased in 2019. The most common argument supporting T21 included reducing youth tobacco prevalence (64.8%) while the most frequent objection was freedom infringement (25.1%). Tobacco and vape industries began voicing support for T21 in 2019.ConclusionsNews coverage of state-level T21 in the United States began to increase in 2015 and peaked in 2019 with enactment of federal T21, a newsworthy event. As states adopt and amend T21 laws to align with federal law, advocates can use media to help shape the narrative and encourage strong T21 policies.ImplicationsThis study described the volume and content of T21 print media coverage from 2012 to 2020, including common arguments used to support and oppose T21. Arguments in support of T21 included reducing youth tobacco use, particularly use of e-cigarettes, and related health effects while arguments against T21 focused on individual rights. Support for T21 reached a tipping point in 2019, including the tobacco industry’s reversal in opposing such laws. States can and should continue to improve existing T21 laws and policies and increase public awareness about critical policy components such as inspection procedures and penalties.
