title: Public attitudes regarding limits on public smoking and regulation of tobacco sales and advertising--10 U.S. communities, 1989.
abstract: The national health objectives for the year 2000 emphasize the need for policies and laws that restrict smoking in public places, restrict minors' access to tobacco products, and restrict minors' exposure to tobacco product advertising and promotion. To characterize public attitudes regarding policy issues related to the prevention and control of tobacco use, the National Cancer Institute surveyed communities participating in the Community Intervention Trial for Smoking Cessation (COMMIT). This report describes the results of a baseline COMMIT survey in 10 U.S. communities.
