          Abstract

          RESUMEN Fundamentos: Conocer el apoyo a la regulación del consumo de tabaco es una pieza clave para avanzar en las políticas de control del tabaquismo y reducir la exposición pasiva al tabaco. El objetivo de este trabajo fue describir las actitudes hacia la prohibición de fumar en los vehículos privados y espacios públicos al aire libre. Métodos: Estudio transversal de una muestra representativa (n=736) de la población adulta (mayor de 24 años) de la ciudad de Barcelona, España, realizado en 2013-2014. Se calcularon el porcentaje de individuos que tenían una actitud favorable a la regulación del consumo de tabaco en el interior de vehículos privados y espacios públicos al aire libre, las Odds Ratio ajustadas (ORa) y sus intervalos de confianza al 95% (IC95%) según sexo, edad, nivel de estudios y estatus de consumo de tabaco mediante un modelo de regresión logística. Se utilizaron pesos de probabilidad inversa para mantener la representatividad de la población de Barcelona en 2013-2014. Resultados: El 61,7% de los participantes estuvo a favor de la prohibición de fumar dentro de los vehículos privados y el 89,5% de prohibirlo sólo en presencia de menores. El apoyo a la regulación del consumo de tabaco en espacios exteriores varió entre 42,5% hasta 84,7% dependiendo del ambiente. Los fumadores mostraron una actitud menos favorable a la ampliación de la regulación a otros espacios: zonas exteriores de los centros universitarios, zonas exteriores de los centros comerciales y playas y piscinas descubiertas. Conclusiones: Existe un amplio apoyo a la extensión de la regulación del consumo del tabaco en el interior de vehículos privados, especialmente en presencia de menores, y espacios públicos al aire libre. Este amplio apoyo podría favorecer la ampliación de la regulación del consumo de tabaco a estos espacios a fin de mejorar la salud de la población y al mismo tiempo contribuir a la desnormalización del consumo de tabaco entre la población.

          ABSTRACT Background: To know the support of tobacco regulation is a very important issue to advance in the tobacco control policies and reduce the passive exposure to tobacco. The aim of this study was to describe the attitudes towards forbidding smoking in private vehicles and public outdoor spaces. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of a representative sample (n=736) of the adult population (24+ years old) from Barcelona, Spain in 2013-2014. We calculated the percentages of individuals who had a favourable attitude towards smoking regulation in private vehicles and public outdoor spaces, their adjusted Odds ratios (aOR) and their 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) according to sex, age, educational level and smoking status through logistic regression. We used weighted data for all analyses in order to keep the representativeness of the population of Barcelona in 2013-2014. Results: 61.7% of participants supported forbidding smoking in private vehicles and 89.5% supported forbidding it only in the presence of minors. The support to smoking regulation in public outdoor spaces varied from 42.5% to 84.7% in different settings. Smokers showed a less favourable attitude towards an extension of the smoking regulation to other settings: outdoor areas of university centres, outdoor areas of shopping centres and beaches and outdoor pools. Conclusions: A wide support exists to extend the smoking regulation to private vehicles, especially in the presence of children, and public outdoor spaces. This wide support could favour the extension of smoking regulation to these places to improve the population’s health and to contribute to denormalise tobacco use among the population.

              Secondhand smoke in outdoor settings: smokers’ consumption, non-smokers’ perceptions, and attitudes towards smoke-free legislation in Spain

              Objective To describe where smokers smoke outdoors, where non-smokers are exposed outdoors to secondhand smoke (SHS), and attitudes towards smoke-free outdoor areas after the implementation of national smoke-free legislation. Design This cross-sectional study was conducted between June 2011 and March 2012 (n=1307 participants). Setting Barcelona, Spain. Participants Representative, random sample of the adult (≥16 years) population. Primary and secondary outcomes Proportion of smoking and prevalence of exposure to SHS in the various settings according to type of enclosure. Percentages of support for outdoor smoke-free policies according to smoking status. Results Smokers reported smoking outdoors most in bars and restaurants (54.8%), followed by outdoor places at work (46.8%). According to non-smokers, outdoor SHS exposure was highest at home (42.5%) and in bars and restaurants (33.5%). Among non-smoking adult students, 90% claimed exposure to SHS on university campuses. There was great support for banning smoking in the majority of outdoor areas, which was stronger among non-smokers than smokers. Over 70% of participants supported smoke-free playgrounds, school and high school courtyards, and the grounds of healthcare centres. Conclusions Extending smoking bans to selected outdoor settings should be considered in further tobacco control interventions to protect non-smokers from SHS exposure and to establish a positive model for youth. The majority of public support for some outdoor smoke-free areas suggests that it is feasible to extend smoking bans to additional outdoor settings.
