背景
700多个社区已颁布法律，禁止向未成年人销售烟草，但人们对此类法律对青少年吸烟行为的影响知之甚少。这项研究的目的是确定当地的烟草销售法律是否会降低青少年吸烟的进展速度。
方法
我们对592名马萨诸塞州青少年进行了一项前瞻性队列研究，他们在1993年进行基线随机数字拨号电话调查时年龄为12-15岁，不吸烟，并于1997年再次进行了访谈。
结果
与生活在没有烟草销售条例的城镇的年轻人相比，生活在当地烟草销售条例基线的城镇的年轻人发展为既定吸烟（定义为一生中至少吸烟100支）的可能性显着降低（比值比= 0.60; 95%置信区间为0。37，0.97）。在控制了潜在的混杂变量后，这种影响的程度没有变化。然而，生活在一个有法令的城镇与年轻人认为可以获得烟草之间没有关系。
结论
地方烟草销售法与青少年吸烟率降低有关，但在这种情况下，这种影响似乎并没有通过减少获得香烟来调节。
BACKGROUND
More than 700 communities have en acted laws prohibiting the sale of tobacco to minors, but little is known about the impact of such laws on youth smoking behavior. The objective of this study was to determine whether local tobacco sales laws de crease the rate of progression to established smoking among adolescents.
METHODS
We conducted a prospective cohort study of 592 Massachusetts youths who did not smoke and were ages 12-15 years at the time of a baseline, random-digit-dial, telephone survey in 1993 and who were reinterviewed in 1997.
RESULTS
Youths living in towns with a local tobacco sales ordinance at baseline were significantly less likely to progress to established smoking (defined as having smoked at least 100 cigarettes in one's life) than youths living in a town without an ordinance (odds ratio = 0.60; 95% confidence interval 0. 37, 0.97). The magnitude of this effect was unchanged after control ling for potential confounding variables. However, there was no relationship between living in a town with an ordinance and youths' perceived access to tobacco.
CONCLUSIONS
Local tobacco sales laws are associated with reduced rates of adolescent smoking initiation, but in this setting, this effect did not appear to be mediated through reduced access to cigarettes.
