Table 4.
Prospective predictors of supporting a total smoking ban at follow-up in countries which implemented smoke-free legislation between baseline and follow-up (restricted to respondents who did not support a total smoking ban at baseline), results of multiple logistic regression models
| Support for a total smoking ban in drinking establishmentsa | Support for a total smoking ban in restaurantsa | |
|---|---|---|
| France, Germany and the Netherlands pooled | France, Germany and the Netherlands pooled | |
| N = 3,282; Events = 636 | N = 2,566; Events = 1,127 | |
| Predictor variablea | OR (95% CI) | OR (95% CI) |
| Gender | ||
| Male (vs. female) | 1.19 (0.99–1.44) | 1.18 (1.00–1.39) |
| Age (in years) | 1.02 (1.02–1.03) | 1.01 (0.99–1.01) |
| Education | ||
| Low (vs. high) | 1.29 (0.99–1.66) | 1.02 (0.82–1.28) |
| Moderate (vs. high) | 1.29 (1.01–1.65) | 1.15 (0.94–1.41) |
| Heaviness of smoking index (HSI)b | 0.86 (0.81–0.92) | 0.82 (0.78–0.87) |
| Intention to quit within next 6 months (vs. no intention) | 1.27 (1.04–1.55) | 1.45 (1.20–1.76) |
| Frequency of visiting the respective hospitality venue (restaurants / drinking establishments): visiting at least weekly (vs. less than weekly) | 0.97 (0.79–1.20) | 1.24 (0.99–1.55) |
| Agreement with statement “Cigarette smoke is dangerous to others” (TSP harm awareness)c | 1.40 (1.23–1.60) | 1.31 (1.18–1.44) |
| Country | ||
| Germany (vs. France) | 0.17 (0.13–0.23) | 0.78 (0.62–0.99) |
| Netherlands (vs. France) | 0.36 (0.28–0.46) | 0.65 (0.52–0.81) |
a: Covariates refer to baseline. Models included all variables in the table together
b: The index ranges from 0 to 6, with higher values indicating higher addiction/heavier smoking
c: Five-point scale ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5)
