Abstract

Introduction: While public smoking bans help reduce smoking behavior, tobacco control in China is mainly managed locally. The effects of regional regulations on individual smoking are unclear. This study analyses public smoking bans across several cities to inform local and national tobacco control efforts.

Methods: This study is a secondary data analysis using the 2010-2020 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) nationwide dataset. The study adopts an observational design covering a 10-year period from 2010 to 2020, with data collected biennially across waves. The study population comprised respondents, aged ≥16 years from the CFPS 2010-2020 waves, who resided in the 37 cities selected for this quasi-experimental design. Individuals were included if they had complete data on smoking behavior, demographic characteristics, and key socioeconomic variables.

Results: Local tobacco control regulations did not significantly affect smoking status. They were related to the amount smoked (β=0.374; 95% CI: 0.115-0.633; p=0.005), with a significant positive correlation and heterogeneity observed in the subgroup analysis. In Hangzhou, the smoking probability increased by 0.021 (95% CI: 0.013-0.030, p<0.001) after policy enactment, and daily cigarette consumption among smokers increased by 0.696 (95% CI: 0.507-0.886, p<0.001). In Tianjin, the smoking probability decreased by 0.040 (95% CI: -0.048 - -0.032, p<0.001), and daily cigarette consumption dropped by 1.532 (95% CI: -1.684 - -1.379, p<0.001). In Guangzhou, the policy had no effect on smoking probability but reduced daily cigarette consumption by 0.316 (95% CI: -0.507 - -0.124, p=0.002). The effects of tobacco control policies vary significantly across different cities.

Conclusions: This study identifies substantial regional heterogeneity in the effects of local public-place smoking bans, supporting the need for national standardization and context-specific regulatory strategies.

中国地方公共场所禁烟的行为反应：中国家庭面板研究的二次数据集分析，2010-2020。

虽然公共场所禁烟有助于减少吸烟行为，但中国的烟草控制主要是地方管理。地区法规对个人吸烟的影响尚不清楚。这项研究分析了几个城市的公共场所禁烟令，为地方和国家的烟草控制工作提供信息。方法：采用2010-2020年中国家庭面板研究（CFPS）全国数据集进行二次数据分析。该研究采用了2010年至2020年10年的观测设计，每两年跨波收集数据。研究人群包括来自2010-2020年CFPS浪潮的年龄≥16岁的受访者，他们居住在为这种准实验设计选择的37个城市。如果个人有关于吸烟行为、人口统计学特征和关键社会经济变量的完整数据，则纳入研究。结果：地方控烟法规对吸烟状况影响不显著。它们与吸烟的数量相关（β=0.374; 95% CI: 0.115-0.633; p=0.005），在亚组分析中观察到显著的正相关和异质性。在杭州，吸烟概率增加了0.021 （95% CI: 0.013-0.030）。结论：本研究发现，地方公共场所禁烟的效果存在显著的区域异质性，支持国家标准化和因地制宜的监管策略的必要性。

期刊介绍： Tobacco Induced Diseases encompasses all aspects of research related to the prevention and control of tobacco use at a global level. Preventing diseases attributable to tobacco is only one aspect of the journal, whose overall scope is to provide a forum for the publication of research articles that can contribute to reducing the burden of tobacco induced diseases globally. To address this epidemic we believe that there must be an avenue for the publication of research/policy activities on tobacco control initiatives that may be very important at a regional and national level. This approach provides a very important "hands on" service to the tobacco control community at a global scale - as common problems have common solutions. Hence, we see ourselves as "connectors" within this global community. The journal hence encourages the submission of articles from all medical, biological and psychosocial disciplines, ranging from medical and dental clinicians, through health professionals to basic biomedical and clinical scientists.
