媒体内容已被证明会影响公众对二手烟的理解。自 2007 年以来，英国 (UK) 已立法禁止在所有封闭的公共场所吸烟。在此期间，人们越来越有兴趣考虑采取其他政策干预措施，以进一步减少二手烟暴露的危害。这项研究首次调查了英国新闻纸媒体如何构建当前关于是否需要制定无烟法律以保护儿童在车内免受二手烟危害的政策辩论。对六份英国和三份苏格兰全国性报纸的相关文章进行了定性内容分析。 2004 年 1 月 1 日至 2014 年 2 月 16 日期间发表的文章使用电子数据库 Nexis UK 进行识别。共有 116 篇文章符合详细编码和分析的条件，这些文章重点关注车内二手烟暴露对儿童的危害。与 2004-2007 年和 2008-2014 年相比，报告车内二手烟对儿童造成危害的文章数量增加了约十倍。据报道，禁止在载有儿童的车辆中吸烟的立法行动在很大程度上被认为是必要的、可执行的，并且得到了公众的支持。据普遍报道，虽然人们意识到二手烟的一般危害，但驾驶员并没有充分意识到在车内密闭空间内儿童周围吸烟的危害有多大。关于车内儿童接触二手烟的危害的新闻报道增多，以及最近的政策辩论表明，过去十年来，科学界和公众对这一问题的兴趣有所增长。此外，宣传工作可能会引起人们对公共场所无烟立法的成功的更多关注，该立法促进了态度、行为和社会规范的改变。还可能会特别强调儿童在发育过程中容易接触二手烟的特殊问题、在车辆等密闭空间内吸烟造成的危险，以及为减少伤害风险而应采取的适当措施。
Media content has been shown to influence public understandings of second-hand smoke. Since 2007 there has been legislation prohibiting smoking in all enclosed public places throughout the United Kingdom (UK). In the intervening period, interest has grown in considering other policy interventions to further reduce the harms of second-hand smoke exposure. This study offers the first investigation into how the UK newsprint media are framing the current policy debate about the need for smoke-free laws to protect children from the harms of second-hand smoke exposure whilst in vehicles. Qualitative content analysis was conducted on relevant articles from six UK and three Scottish national newspapers. Articles published between 1st January 2004 and 16th February 2014 were identified using the electronic database Nexis UK. A total of 116 articles were eligible for detailed coding and analysis that focused on the harms of second-hand smoke exposure to children in vehicles. Comparing the period of 2004–2007 and 2008–2014 there has been an approximately ten-fold increase in the number of articles reporting on the harms to children of second-hand smoke exposure in vehicles. Legislative action to prohibit smoking in vehicles carrying children was largely reported as necessary, enforceable and presented as having public support. It was commonly reported that whilst people were aware of the general harms associated with second-hand smoke, drivers were not sufficiently aware of how harmful smoking around children in the confined space of the vehicle could be. The increased news reporting on the harms of second-hand smoke exposure to children in vehicles and recent policy debates indicate that scientific and public interest in this issue has grown over the past decade. Further, advocacy efforts might draw greater attention to the success of public-space smoke-free legislation which has promoted a change in attitudes, behaviours and social norms. Efforts might also specifically highlight the particular issue of children’s developmental vulnerability to second-hand smoke exposure, the dangers posed by smoking in confined spaces such as vehicles, and the appropriate measures that should be taken to reduce the risk of harm.
