烟草控制措施在降低美国成年人吸烟率方面发挥了重要作用。然而，尽管总体吸烟率有所下降，但许多亚人群的吸烟率仍然很高，这些亚人群不成比例地承受着烟草使用的负担，导致与烟草相关的健康差异。无烟法在农村地区，特别是在南部和东南部的传播缓慢，在单户住宅和多单元住房中，自愿政策的采用不均衡，是与这些亚群中与烟草有关的健康差异不成比例的负担有关的关键政策变量。免费法律不仅将有助于降低因吸烟而负担过重的亚人群的吸烟率，而且还将减少接触二手烟的机会，并进一步减少烟草-造成了美国的健康差距。
Tobacco control measures have played an important role in the reduction of the cigarette smoking prevalence among US adults.However, although overall smoking prevalence has declined, it remains high among many subpopulations that are disproportionately burdened by tobacco use, resulting in tobacco-related health disparities. Slow diffusion of smoke-free laws to rural regions, particularly in the South and Southeast, and uneven adoption of voluntary policies in single-family homes and multiunit housing are key policy variables associated with the disproportionate burden of tobacco-related health disparities in these subpopulations.Developing policies that expand the reach of comprehensive smoke-free laws not only will facilitate the decline in smoking prevalence among subpopulations disproportionately burdened by tobacco use but will also decrease exposure to second hand smoke and further reduce tobacco-caused health disparities in the United States.
