Attitudes towards tobacco and nicotine control policies in Italy: insights from a 2024 national survey

In Italy, strong public support exists for new tobacco control laws, especially among never smokers and non-users of novel products. However, also a considerable proportion of current smokers, e-cigarette and HTP users support these policies. Policymakers can confidently advance these strategies, while public campaigns should target less supportive groups.

Abstract

In Italy, strong public support exists for new tobacco control laws, especially among never smokers and non-users of novel products. However, also a considerable proportion of current smokers, e-cigarette and HTP users support these policies. Policymakers can confidently advance these strategies, while public campaigns should target less supportive groups.
