Mapping Colombians’ positions on national policies to control tobacco and marijuana consumption: a pilot study
While qualitatively different positions on the acceptability of national policies to control tobacco and marijuana consumption were indeed observed among Colombian participants, the most frequent response seemed to be indifference (or indeterminacy), with other positions reflecting little more than systematic opposition or blind acquiescence. It would therefore be useful to make citizens aware that their opinions count, that their relative indifference to these issues is in itself a problem, and that it is by taking their perspectives into account that one can truly define and make effective public health policies that are understood and accepted by as many people as possible.
