目的：为了评估公众对烟草业及其产品的态度，并确定支持烟草业非正常化的态度的预测因素。设计：基于人口的横断面调查。设置：加拿大安大略。受试者：成年人口（n = 1607）。主要结果指标：烟草业非正常化的八个不同方面进行了评估。一个denormalisation规模研究预测的态度支持烟草业denormalisation，使用双变量和多变量analysis.Results：烟草业denormalisation的八个方面的态度变化很大。超过一半的受访者支持将烟草作为危险产品进行监管，对烟草业从未成年人吸烟中获得的收入进行罚款，并起诉烟草公司因烟草造成的医疗保健费用。大多数人还认为烟草业是不诚实的，香烟太危险了，根本不能出售。不到一半的受访者认为，烟草业对吸烟者因吸烟而产生的健康问题负有大部分或全部责任，烟草公司应因走私而损失的税收而被起诉。特别是，不到四分之一的人认为烟草业是年轻人开始吸烟的主要原因。不吸烟，烟草造成的健康影响的知识，并支持政府在健康促进中的作用是独立的预测因子，支持烟草行业denormalisation.Conclusions：虽然安大略省对烟草行业denormalisation是矛盾的，他们支持的一些措施。需要开展大众媒体方案，以增加对烟草业非正规化的支持，并继续监测公众对这一战略的态度。
Objectives: To assess public attitudes toward the tobacco industry and its products, and to identify predictors of attitudes supportive of tobacco industry denormalisation.Design: Population based, cross sectional survey.Setting: Ontario, Canada.Subjects: Adult population (n = 1607).Main outcome measures: Eight different facets of tobacco industry denormalisation were assessed. A denormalisation scale was developed to examine predictors of attitudes supportive of tobacco industry denormalisation, using bivariate and multivariate analyses.Results: Attitudes to the eight facets of tobacco industry denormalisation varied widely. More than half of the respondents supported regulating tobacco as a hazardous product, fining the tobacco industry for earnings from underage smoking, and suing tobacco companies for health care costs caused by tobacco. Majorities also thought that the tobacco industry is dishonest and that cigarettes are too dangerous to be sold at all. Fewer than half of the respondents thought that the tobacco industry is mostly or completely responsible for the health problems smokers have because of smoking and that tobacco companies should be sued for taxes lost from smuggling. In particular, less than a quarter thought that the tobacco industry is most responsible for young people starting to smoke. Non-smoking, knowledge about health effects caused by tobacco, and support for the role of government in health promotion were independent predictors of support for tobacco industry denormalisation.Conclusions: Although Ontarians are ambivalent toward tobacco industry denormalisation, they are supportive of some measures. Mass media programmes aimed at increasing support for tobacco industry denormalisation and continued monitoring of public attitudes toward this strategy are needed.
