背景：为了制定更有效的烟草获取限制措施，需要了解未成年人获取烟草的不同方式。本研究的目的是检验未成年吸烟青少年是否会自己买烟、从朋友那里买烟或让别人买烟的特征。方法：采用Logistic回归分析对737名偶尔吸烟和2,050名经常吸烟青少年的三种不同烟草获取行为进行预测。结果：大多数吸烟青年在购买香烟时被询问年龄的时间不到一半。偶尔吸烟者通常从朋友那里购买香烟（59.5%），大多数经常吸烟者通常自己购买香烟（59.8%）。偶尔吸烟者不太可能购买自己的香烟（OR 0.85），更有可能要求别人购买他们的香烟（OR 1.24），他们在购买尝试时被问及年龄的频率越高。经常吸烟者也不太可能购买自己的香烟（OR 0.70），更有可能从别人（OR 1.51）或朋友（OR 1.18）购买他们的香烟，他们更频繁地被问到他们的年龄购买attempts.Interpretation：点的销售限制是不足以防止青年获得香烟，因为青年通常从社会来源获得香烟。需要采取更全面的办法限制未成年人和为未成年人购买烟草的个人获得烟草。
Background: Understanding the different ways underage youth access tobacco is required in order to develop more effective tobacco access restrictions. The purpose of this study was to examine characteristics that predict whether underage smoking youth buy their own cigarettes, buy their cigarettes from friends, or get someone else to buy their cigarettes.Methods: Logistic regression analyses were used to examine the predictors of three different tobacco access behaviours among 737 occasional smoking and 2,050 regular smoking youth.Results: Most smoking youth were asked their age less than half of the time when trying to buy cigarettes. Occasional smokers usually buy their cigarettes from a friend (59.5%) and the majority of regular smokers usually buy their own cigarettes (59.8%). Occasional smokers were less likely to buy their own cigarettes (OR 0.85) and more likely to ask someone else to buy their cigarettes (OR 1.24) the more frequently they were asked their age on purchase attempts. Regular smokers were also less likely to buy their own cigarettes (OR 0.70) and more likely to buy their cigarettes from someone else (OR 1.51) or a friend (OR 1.18) the more frequently they were asked their age on purchase attempts.Interpretation: Point-of-sale restrictions are insufficient to prevent youth from acquiring cigarettes because youth commonly access cigarettes from social sources. A more comprehensive approach for restricting access is required that targets both underage youth and individuals who purchase tobacco for underage youth.
