Abstract
연구배경: 담배광고 노출이 이후 담배 사용과 연관되어 있음이 밝혀졌으며, 소셜미디어와 같은 뉴미디어를 통해 담배광고가 사용경험담과 같은 형태의 정보로 청소년과 젊은 성인에게 접근하기 쉽게 변화된 것도 문제가 되고 있다. 또한 여러 향과 맛을 첨가하는 가향은 담배의 홍보수단으로써 효과적으로 사용되고 있으며 청소년들이 흡연 시도를 더욱 쉽게 할 수 있도록 유도하고 있다. 특히 우리나라는 법적으로 담배광고를 규제하고 있지만 FCTC 규정의 포괄적인 담배광고 규제 항목 이행은 아직 불완전하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 가향 및 비가향 담배광고 및 사용경험담 노출 채널을 분석하고 흡연 의향과의 관련성을 알아보고자 한다. 연구대상 및 방법: 질병관리청에서 시행된 온라인 조사 자료를 2차 분석하였다. 우리나라 만 13세~만 39세 비흡연자 3,656명(남 1,929명)에서, 유튜브, 틱톡, 트위터, 페이스북, 인스타그램과 같은 뉴미디어 및 신문, 라디오, TV와 같은 전통미디어에서 가향 및 비가향 담배광고와 사용경험담 노출 현황을 카이제곱 검정을 통해 알아보았다. 또한 노출 매체에 따른 흡연 의향이 어떻게 달라지는지 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과: 만13~18세 23.1%(844명), 만19~24세 43.9%(1,605명), 만25~39세 33.0%(1,207명)을 분석한 결과, 가향담배와 비가향 담배광고 매체 노출 모두 전통미디어에서는 편의점이 각각 19.8%(724명), 17.8%(650명)으로 가장 많았으며, 뉴미디어에서는 유튜브가 각각 20.5%(750명), 16.8(613명)으로 가장 많았다. 담배광고 및 사용경험담 매체 노출과 흡연 의향간의 관계를 로지스틱 회귀분석으로 분석한 결과, 담배광고 및 사용경험담 노출 시 흡연 의향은 뉴미디어만 노출 또는 뉴미디어와 전통미디어 양쪽 모두 노출 시 유의하게 높았으며(OR 2.52, 95%CI 1.98-3.22), 전통미디어에만 노출 시에는 유의하지 않았다. 담배광고 및 사용경험담 노출을 가향 담배광고와 비가향 담배광고 노출로 나누어 보았을 때에도 유사한 결과를 보였으나, 비가향 담배광고 및 사용경험담 노출 시에는 전통미디어에서도 흡연 의향이 유의하게 높았다. '뉴미디어'에서 '가향담배' 광고 노출 시 흡연 의향 오즈비는 3.44(95%CI 2.76-4.29)였다. 결론: 연구 결과 뉴미디어에서의 담배광고 및 사용경험담 노출은 흡연 의향과 관련성이 있었다. 국내외 뉴미디어에서의 가향 담배광고의 폐해를 막을 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 또한 소셜미디어 상에서 담배광고의 위험성을 인지할 수 있도록 지속적인 보건교육과 대책 개발이 필요할 것이다.
Background: It has been revealed that exposure to cigarette advertisements is related to subsequent cigarette use, and it is also problematic that cigarette advertisements have become more accessible to adolescents and young adults through new media such as social media with information in the form of user experience stories. . In addition, flavoring, which adds various scents and flavors, is effectively used as a promotional tool for cigarettes and encourages youth to try smoking more easily. In particular, although Korea legally regulates tobacco advertising, the comprehensive implementation of the FCTC regulations on tobacco advertising regulations is still incomplete. Accordingly, this study analyzes the exposure channels of flavored and non-flavored cigarette advertisements and user experience stories and investigates the relationship with intention to smoke. Methods: Secondary analysis was conducted on online survey data conducted by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency. Among 3,656 non-smokers (1,929 males) aged 13 to 39 years in Korea, flavored and non-flavored cigarettes were used in new media such as YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram and in traditional media such as newspapers, radio, and TV. The exposure status of advertisements and user experience stories was investigated through the chi-square test. Additionally, a logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine how intention to smoke varies depending on exposure medium. Results: As a result of analyzing 23.1% (844 people) of those aged 13 to 18, 43.9% (1,605 people) of those aged 19 to 24, and 33.0% (1,207 people) of those aged 25 to 39, flavored and non-flavored cigarette advertisements were found. In terms of media exposure, in traditional media, convenience stores were the most frequent with 19.8% (724 people) and 17.8% (650 people), respectively, and in new media, YouTube was the most popular with 20.5% (750 people) and 16.8 (613 people), respectively. As a result of analyzing the relationship between exposure to tobacco advertisements and user experience stories and intention to smoke through logistic regression analysis, the intention to smoke when exposed to tobacco advertisements and user experience stories was significantly higher when exposed to only new media or both new and traditional media (OR 2.52) , 95%CI 1.98-3.22), but was not significant when exposed only to traditional media. Similar results were seen when exposure to cigarette advertisements and use experience stories were divided into flavored cigarette advertisements and non-flavored cigarette advertisement exposure. However, when exposed to non-flavored cigarette advertisements and use experience stories, intention to smoke was significantly higher even in traditional media. The odds ratio of intention to smoke when exposed to 'flavored cigarette' advertisements in 'new media' was 3.44(95%CI 2.76-4.29). Conclusion: As a result of the study, exposure to tobacco advertisements and usage experiences in new media was related to smoking intention. Strategy to stop the risk of flavored tobacco advertisements in domestic and global new media is needed. In addition, continuous health education and development of measures will be necessary to ensure awareness of the risks of tobacco advertising on social media.
