背景在所有年龄组中，年轻人的吸烟率最高。目的本研究的目的是评估明尼苏达州全面的全州无烟法对青少年吸烟认知和行为的短期影响。方法电话调查于2007年10月1日明尼苏达州全州禁烟法生效前和生效后18个月进行（数据分析2010-2011年）。参与者包括来自明尼苏达州以人口为基础的队列的年轻人（n=1458）和来自其他五个中西部上游州作为比较（n=248）。研究人员对明尼苏达州参与者的认知和吸烟行为的差异进行了研究，这些参与者在明尼苏达州实施全州禁烟法之前，居住在有和没有当地禁烟法的州，以及居住在比较州的参与者。结果明尼苏达州大多数年轻人都知道餐馆和酒吧的吸烟限制。法律实施后，明尼苏达州的参与者，以前没有当地法律的生活（与比较）更有可能感觉到更少的成年人和同龄人吸烟，更不可能因为烟雾太大而提前离开社交活动。在法律颁布前后，吸烟行为没有变化。然而，明尼苏达州的参与者，生活在没有先前法律的情况下（与有先前法律的参与者相比），更有可能将法律颁布后的戒烟尝试归因于餐馆和酒吧的吸烟限制。结论：结果表明，明尼苏达州的法律改变了人们对烟草环境的看法。可能需要长期随访来观察吸烟行为的变化。
BACKGROUNDYoung adults have the highest rate of smoking among any age group.PURPOSEThe purpose of this study is to assess the short-term effects of Minnesota's comprehensive statewide smokefree law on young adult smoking perceptions and behavior.METHODSTelephone surveys were conducted before and up to 18 months after Minnesota's statewide smokefree law went into effect on October 1, 2007 (data analyzed 2010–2011). Participants included young adults from a population-based cohort in Minnesota (n=1458) and from five other upper Midwest states that serve as a comparison (n=248). Differences in perceptions and smoking behavior were examined between Minnesota participants who lived with and without a local smokefree law prior to Minnesota's statewide law, and participants who lived in the comparison states.RESULTSThe majority of youth in Minnesota were aware of the smoking restrictions in restaurants and bars following the law. After implementation of the law, Minnesota participants who previously lived without a local law (versus comparison) were more likely to perceive fewer adult and peer smokers and less likely to report leaving social events early because it was too smoky. No changes in smoking behaviors were observed before and after the law. Minnesota participants, however, who lived without a prior law (versus participants with a prior law) were more likely to attribute a quit attempt after the law to smoking restrictions in restaurant and bars.CONCLUSIONSResults suggest that Minnesota's law has changed perceptions of the tobacco environment. Longer-term follow-up may be needed to observe changes in smoking behavior.
