Abstract:Objective To investigate the cognition of tobacco hazard and attitudes towards smoking ban in public places among urban residents in Tianjin so as to provide evidence for implementing targeted tobacco control in the future. Methods Multistage cluster sampling method was used to select 2,024 urban households in Tianjin City in 2013, and one member who met the inclusion criteria in each household was randomly chosen to finish a questionnaire. Results Totally, 1,977 participants were successfully surveyed. The awareness rates of lung cancer, heart attack, stroke and erectile dysfunction induced by smoking and all the four diseases were 95.4%, 74.9%, 66.1%, 32.1% and 28.3% respectively. The awareness rates of the above-mentioned diseases, except that of stroke, in the participants with higher educational background were significantly higher than those with lower educational background (P<0.05). The awareness rates of adult heart attack,adult lung illness , child lung illness and of all the three diseases induced by second-hand smoke exposure were 74.3%, 90.7%, 83.0% and 70.4% respectively, and were significantly different among participants with different educational backgrounds (P<0. 05). 28.9% of the participants believed that the harm from mild, low tar cigarettes and regular cigarettes was similar. The support rates of smoking ban in restaurants (81.7%) and bars (57.4%) were low. As compared with the smokers, the non-smokers showed a significantly higher support rate for banning smoking in the public places included in the questionaire(P<0.05). Conclusions The cognition of tobacco hazard and support rate of tobacco control in residents of Tianjin in 2013 are higher, but the cognition of smoking and second-hand smoke hazards still needs to be improved. The support rate of banning smoking in some public places is low. So related propaganda should be constantly intensified.
