ABSTRACT

Background

There are antagonistic positions to the prohibition of smoking in closed spaces. This article aims to evaluate the opinion on the law that regulates the consumption of tobacco in public spaces in Nuevo León, Mexico.

Methods

A cross-sectional study, with systematic probability sampling, using a telephone survey, was done with a sample of 1,070. The items of the law were analyzed, based on age, sex, education, and smoking through descriptive statistics, multivariate logistic regression, odds ratios, and confidence intervals.

Results

It was realized that 79.3% agreed to prohibit smoking in closed places and 76.8% in terraces, 93.4%, support protecting workers from exposure. In casinos and clubs, the law was mostly not followed; 62.2%, were willing to denounce this negation of the law. Active smoking discouraged the belief in damage to health (OR: 0.2; CI95%: 0.1–0.9) and the prohibition of special areas for smokers (OR: 0.2; 95% CI: 0.1–0.3). Age 25–39 years (31.3%), female (60.4%) and preparatory-or-technical schooling (37.7%) predominated.

Conclusions

The opinion favorable to the implementation of the law prevailed. Awareness campaigns are needed to spread the economic and health benefits.

摘要

背景

禁止在封闭空间内吸烟存在对立的立场。本文旨在评估对规范墨西哥新莱昂公共场所烟草消费的法律的意见。

方法

使用电话调查的系统概率抽样的横断面研究对 1,070 个样本进行了研究。通过描述性统计、多变量逻辑回归、优势比和置信区间，基于年龄、性别、教育和吸烟对法律项目进行了分析。

结果

据了解，79.3% 的人同意在封闭场所禁止吸烟，76.8% 的人同意在露台吸烟，93.4% 的人支持保护工人免受暴露。在赌场和俱乐部，法律大多不遵守；62.2%，愿意谴责这种对法律的否定。主动吸烟不鼓励对健康损害的信念（OR：0.2；CI95%：0.1-0.9）和禁止吸烟者的特殊区域（OR：0.2；95% CI：0.1-0.3）。年龄 25-39 岁 (31.3%)、女性 (60.4%) 和预科或技术教育 (37.7%) 占主导地位。

结论

有利于法律实施的意见占了上风。需要开展宣传活动来传播经济和健康益处。
