Abstract

Despite legislative efforts, tobacco smoking prevalence among European adolescents remains high and heterogeneous between countries. While tobacco control policies, often assessed using Tobacco Control Scale (TCS), have been studied in adults, their influence on preventing adolescent smoking initiation remains unknown. This ecological study investigates the correlation between tobacco control policies implementation and adolescents smoking behavior across 25 European countries. Correlation analyses were conducted using TCS scores from 2005 to 2016, and 2007 to 2019 data from the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs. Total TCS scores inversely correlated with adolescents' smoking prevalence, as did the prohibition of tobacco advertising. The effect of prices increases have progressively faded, as bans on smoking in public spaces. Information campaigns are poorly implemented, and treatments for addiction do not show effect on adolescents. Besides further raises in cigarette prices, policies should target the smoking social perception to curb adolescent tobacco use.

2005 - 2019年控烟政策与欧洲青少年吸烟行为的相关性
尽管做出了立法努力,但欧洲青少年的吸烟率仍然很高,而且各国之间存在差异。虽然烟草控制政策(通常使用烟草控制量表(TCS)进行评估)已经在成人中进行了研究,但它们对预防青少年开始吸烟的影响仍然未知。这项生态研究调查了25个欧洲国家烟草控制政策实施与青少年吸烟行为之间的相关性。研究人员使用2005年至2016年的TCS分数,以及2007年至2019年欧洲学校酒精和其他药物调查项目的数据进行了相关性分析。TCS总分与青少年吸烟率呈负相关,烟草广告禁令也是如此。随着公共场所禁烟,价格上涨的影响逐渐消退。宣传活动执行不力,对成瘾的治疗对青少年没有显示出效果。除了进一步提高卷烟价格外,政策还应针对吸烟的社会观念,以遏制青少年吸烟。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Public Health Policy (JPHP) will continue its 35 year tradition: an accessible source of scholarly articles on the epidemiologic and social foundations of public health policy, rigorously edited, and progressive. JPHP aims to create a more inclusive public health policy dialogue, within nations and among them. It broadens public health policy debates beyond the ''health system'' to examine all forces and environments that impinge on the health of populations. It provides an exciting platform for airing controversy and framing policy debates - honing policies to solve new problems and unresolved old ones. JPHP welcomes unsolicited original scientific and policy contributions on all public health topics. New authors are particularly encouraged to enter debates about how to improve the health of populations and reduce health disparities.
