Abstract
- Background:: In August 2007, the President’s Cancer Panel urged the leadership of the nation to “summon the political will to address the public health crisis caused by tobacco use” (President’s Cancer Panel, N, 2007, Promoting healthy lifestyles: Policy, program, and personal recommendations for reducing cancer risk. http://deainfo.nci.nih.gov/advisory/pcp/pcp07rpt/pcp07rpt.pdf). While some research has examined predictors of public support for tobacco control measures, little research has examined modifiable factors that may influence public attitudes toward tobacco control.
