Attitudes toward smoking policies in eight states--United States, 1993.
Legislation regulating smoking has at least two functions: to protect nonsmokers from the adverse health effects of environmental tobacco smoke and to prevent young persons from smoking (1). To characterize public attitudes toward such legislation, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the American Cancer Society used the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) to survey persons in eight states during July-August 1993 as part of the American Stop Smoking Intervention Study for Cancer Prevention (2). This report summarizes the survey findings.
