背景：目前的烟草获取限制是无效的，因为青少年可以找到不合规的零售商或社会来源获得香烟。目的：本研究旨在探讨未成年吸烟青少年接触香烟行为的相关特征。方法：从2001年加拿大安大略省29所中学的20,297名学生（9-12年级）中收集数据。使用多水平逻辑回归分析来检验学校周围的烟草零售商、学校吸烟率和学生特征与吸烟者自己购买香烟、让别人购买香烟或从朋友那里购买香烟之间的关系。结果：在未成年吸烟者中，34.3%的人通常自己购买香烟，42.1%的人表示在购买香烟时从未被询问过年龄。一所学校周围的烟草零售商越多，吸烟者就越有可能自己买烟，而让别人买烟的可能性就越小。学生的吸烟习惯也与接触香烟行为有关。结论：学校周边烟草零售商密度与学生卷烟接触行为有关。在学校附近的零售店选择性地执行青少年接触法可能有助于防止未成年青少年吸烟。
Background: Current tobacco access restrictions are ineffective because youth can find noncompliant retailers or social sources from which to get cigarettes. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine characteristics related to the cigarettes access behaviors of underage smoking youth. Methods: Data were collected from 20,297 students (Grades 9-12) attending 29 secondary schools in Ontario, Canada in 2001. Multilevel logistic regression analyses were used to examine how tobacco retailers surrounding schools, school smoking rates, and student characteristics were related to smokers buying their own cigarettes, getting someone else to buy their cigarettes, or getting their cigarettes from friends. Results: Among underage smokers, 34.3% usually buy their own cigarettes, and 42.1% report that they are never asked for their age when trying to buy cigarettes. The more tobacco retailers there were surrounding a school, the more likely smokers were to buy their own cigarettes and the less likely they were to get someone else to buy their cigarettes. Students' smoking habits were also related to their cigarette access behaviors. Conclusions: Tobacco retailer density surrounding schools is related to student cigarette access behaviors. Selective enforcement of youth access laws in retail outlets in close proximity to schools might help to prevent underage youth from smoking.
