“…For tobacco regulatory policies to be effective, public support is crucial to ensure that supporters vote for these policies, enforce them and comply with them. While there is substantial research examining characteristics of individuals with high or low support for tobacco regulatory policies, factors driving support for tobacco regulatory policies are not well-understood ( Dai, 2017 ; Goldstein et al, 1997 ; Kowitt, Goldstein, Schmidt, Hall, & Brewer, 2017 ; Unger et al, 1999 ; Unger, Barker, Baezconde-Garbanati, Soto, & Sussman, 2016 ; Unger, Barker, Sussman, Soto, & Baezconde-Garbanati, 2016 ; Wackowski & Delnevo, 2015 ).…”

Introduction Given increasing efforts to regulate e-cigarettes, it is important to understand factors associated with support for tobacco regulatory policies. We investigate such factors found in social media and hypothesize that greater online engagement with tobacco content would be associated with less support for e-cigarette regulatory policies. Methods We constructed social networks of Twitter users who tweet about tobacco and categorized them using a combination of social network and Twitter metrics. Twitter users were identified as representing leaders, followers or general users in online discussions of tobacco products, and invited to complete an online survey. Participants responded to questions about their engagement with tobacco-related content online, degree of support for e-cigarette regulations, exposure to tobacco marketing, e-cigarette use and other demographic information. We examined links between their reported engagement with tobacco-related content and support for e-cigarette regulatory policies using structural equation modelling. Results The analytic sample consisted of 470 participants. The conceptualized structural equation model had a good fit (χ 2 (32) = 24.85, p = 0.09, CFI = 0.99, RMSEA = 0.03). Findings support our hypothesis: engagement with online tobacco content was negatively associated with support for e-cigarette policies, while controlling for e-cigarette use, tobacco marketing exposure, social media use frequency and demographic factors. Conclusions Findings suggest that our hypothesis was supported. Twitter users engaging with tobacco-related content and harboring negative attitudes toward e-cigarette regulatory policies could be an important audience segment to reach with tailored e-cigarette policy education messages.

ResumoNeste estudo, investigam-se se a política de proibição aos cigarros eletrônicos no País afeta a liberdade e a autonomia do indivíduo em consumi-los, diante do escopo regulatório da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa) de promover e proteger a saúde pública. A argumentação apoia-se na teoria do determinismo tecnológico ante a abordagem descritiva exploratória, de cunho documental e bibliográfico, em que são apresentadas as rupturas desafiadoras dos arranjos institucionais colocados pela forte regulação sanitária e seu campo organizacional. Concluem-se que as inovações disruptivas revogam as expectativas sobre o funcionamento e o desenvolvimento dos mercados, muitas vezes, suscitam preocupações morais, legais e científicas entre os pesquisadores e formuladores de políticas.Palavras-chave: Autonomia pessoal.
