| description | Introduction
In addition to smoke-free policies in indoor public and workplaces,
governments increasingly implement smoke-free policies at beaches, in parks,
playgrounds and private cars (‘novel smoke-free policies’). An important element
in the implementation of such policies is public support. In the context of the
ambition of the Netherlands to reach a smoke-free generation by 2040, we
investigated temporal changes in public support for novel smoke-free policies.
Methods
We analyzed annual cross-sectional questionnaires in a representative
sample of the Dutch population from 2018 to 2022. Multivariable logistic
regression was applied to model public support for each smoke-free policy area
as a function of time (calendar year), smoking status, gender, and socioeconomic
status. Interaction terms were added for time with smoking status and with
socioeconomic status.
Results
A total of 5582 participant responses were included. Between 2018 and
2022, support increased most for smoke-free policies regarding train platforms
(+16%), theme parks (+12%), beaches (+10%), and terraces (+10%). In 2022,
average support was higher than 65% for all categories of smoke-free places
and highest for private cars with children (91%). Regression analyses indicated
significant increases in support over time within each category of smoke-free
places (adjusted odds ratio, AOR between 1.09 and 1.17 per year), except smokefree
private cars with children (AOR=0.97; 95% CI: 0.89–1.05). Regardless of
smoking status, support was high for places where children often go.
Conclusions
Support for novel smoke-free places in the Netherlands is high and
increasing, in particular for places frequented by children. This indicates the
potential to implement such measures in the Netherlands. |
