导致美国主和解协议（MSA）的诉讼暴露了烟草行业的欺骗性营销行为，这改变了人们对烟草行业的看法，并有助于防止吸烟。烟草行业现在拥有许多电子烟（e-cigarette）公司，并制造自己的电子烟。鉴于MSA发生在过去的几十年里，许多千禧一代和Z世代的年轻人可能不知道MSA和卷烟行业的营销做法。目前尚不清楚对MSA和卷烟行业做法的认识是否会影响这些年轻人的电子烟行业和电子烟健康风险认知，这可能会为电子烟预防工作提供信息。横断面数据是从2021年8月至2022年1月通过在线小组服务收集的美国18-30岁的未吸烟年轻人样本中收集的，这些年轻人对电子烟使用敏感（n = 1，329）。参与者报告了他们的人口统计学特征，对MSA的认识，对卷烟行业实践的认识，对电子烟行业的看法以及对电子烟健康风险的看法。我们使用多变量线性回归分析了MSA的意识和卷烟行业与电子烟行业的实践以及电子烟健康风险感知之间的关系，并根据人口统计学特征进行了调整。总体而言，分别有36.2%、24.1%和39.3%的参与者听说过MSA并了解很多，听说过MSA但不太了解，没有听说过MSA。平均而言，参与者知道5.2（SD = 3.0）的11个卷烟行业的做法包括。听说过MSA并对其了解很多以及对更多卷烟行业做法的认识与电子烟行业的积极性较低和电子烟健康风险较高的看法有关，而听说过MSA但对其了解不多与更积极的电子烟行业和较低的电子烟健康风险看法有关。研究结果表明，提高对MSA和卷烟行业实践的全面认识可能会影响年轻人对电子烟的相关看法，并可能重要地防止有关卷烟行业的有害信息差距。未来的研究应该调查提高对MSA和卷烟行业实践的认识对改变电子烟相关观念的潜在影响，这可能有助于防止电子烟的使用。在线版本包含补充材料，可通过10.1186/s12889-023-15520-2获得。
The lawsuit that led to the U.S. Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) exposed the cigarette industry’s deceptive marketing practices, which changed population perceptions about the cigarette industry and helped prevent cigarette smoking. The cigarette industry now owns many electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) companies and make their own e-cigarettes. Given that the MSA occurred in previous decades, many millennial and generation Z young adults may not know about the MSA and the cigarette industry’s marketing practices. It is unknown whether awareness about the MSA and cigarette industry practices may influence these young adults’ e-cigarette industry and e-cigarette health risk perceptions, which may inform e-cigarette prevention efforts. Cross-sectional data were collected from a U.S. sample of tobacco-naïve young adults, 18–30 years-old, susceptible to e-cigarette use (n = 1,329) through an online panel service in August 2021-January 2022. Participants reported their demographic characteristics, awareness of the MSA, awareness of cigarette industry practices, e-cigarette industry perceptions, and e-cigarette health risk perceptions. We examined the relationships between awareness of the MSA and cigarette industry practices with e-cigarette industry and e-cigarette health risk perceptions using multivariable linear regressions, adjusted for demographic characteristics. Overall, 36.2%, 24.1%, and 39.3% of participants had heard of the MSA and knew a lot about it, had heard of the MSA, but did not know much about it, and did not hear of the MSA, respectively. On average, participants were aware of 5.2 (SD = 3.0) of the 11 cigarette industry practices included. Hearing about the MSA and knowing a lot about it and awareness of more cigarette industry practices were associated with less positive e-cigarette industry and higher e-cigarette health risk perceptions, whereas having heard of the MSA but not knowing much about it was associated with more positive e-cigarette industry and lower e-cigarette health risk perceptions. Findings suggest that increasing comprehensive awareness of the MSA and cigarette industry practices may influence young adults’ e-cigarette-related perceptions, and may importantly prevent detrimental information gaps about the cigarette industry. Future research should investigate the potential impact of increasing awareness of the MSA and cigarette industry practices in changing e-cigarette-related perceptions, which may help prevent e-cigarette use.
