Smoking Beyond Prison Bans: The Impact of Prison Tobacco Bans on Smoking Among Prison Entrants
Copyright policy )Smoking Beyond Prison Bans: The Impact of Prison Tobacco Bans on Smoking Among Prison Entrants
This study aims to determine whether previous exposure to a total prison smoking ban is associated with a reduction in daily smoking postrelease and to identify the factors associated with daily tobacco use. Demographics, incarceration history, and substance use data were collected from the 2016 National Prisoner Entrants' Blood Borne Virus Survey for 389 Australian prison entrants. Predictors of daily smoking among those exposed to a smoking ban were illicit drug use and Indigenous status. No significant association was found between current daily smoking and recent exposure to a prison smoking ban, suggesting that the majority of Australian prisoners exposed to a tobacco ban while incarcerated will return to smoking once released. Complementary and culturally specific interventions supporting abstinence postrelease should be considered.
