目标：以吸引公众和政治支持的方式制定公共卫生政策改革是宣传的核心技能。在这篇论文中，我们总结了澳大利亚12年来倡导禁止在载有儿童的汽车内吸烟的历史，最终导致澳大利亚南澳州和塔斯马尼亚州政府颁布立法。方法：在www.example.com印刷新闻媒体数据库上搜索“在汽车内吸烟”factiva.com，返回的结果仅限于2007年6月1日之前出版的澳大利亚报纸。在汽车内吸烟的问题得到了媒体的广泛和情绪化的报道，主要是为了支持立法禁止。在关于在汽车内吸烟的辩论中强调保护易受伤害的儿童是一个强有力和有说服力的主题。与所有其他倡导无烟区，这场辩论没有受到烟草业或其他商业利益集团的质疑。结论：即使在没有一个协调的宣传运动，民意研究支持这样的立法一直很强。社区认为保护儿童是最重要的和不可谈判的。影响：无烟汽车立法可以而且应该快速跟踪，以利用这一社区的支持。
Objective: Framing public health policy reform in ways that attract public and political support is a core skill of advocacy. In this paper we summarise the 12-year Australian history of advocacy for banning smoking in cars carrying children, culminating in the governments of the Australian States of South Australia and Tasmania enacting legislation.Method: 'Smoking in cars' was searched on the factiva.com print news media database, with returns limited to Australian newspapers published before 1 June 2007.Results: The issue of smoking in cars received extensive and emotive media coverage, primarily in support of legislating a ban. Invoking the protection of vulnerable children in the debate about smoking in cars was a powerful and persuasive theme. Unlike all other advocacy for smoke-free areas, this debate was not contested by the tobacco industry or other commercial interest groups.Conclusions: Even in the absence of a co-ordinated advocacy campaign, public opinion studies on support for such legislation have been consistently strong. Communities view the protection of children as paramount and non-negotiable.Implications: Smoke-free cars legislation can and should be fast tracked in order to capitalise on this community support.
