This article describes the factors that contribute to Kansas county jails' tobacco culture to identify reasons for high tobacco use and intervention opportunities. Kansas sheriffs' offices were asked to complete a novel 26-item survey from August through November 2019, and 40% responded. A few reported that tobacco cessation counseling was available to staff (31%) or incarcerated individuals (12%). Seventy-nine percent reported that staff were permitted to use tobacco in designated places outside, whereas 24% reported that tobacco use by incarcerated individuals was permitted in designated places outside. In the jails' commissaries, 5% reported selling nicotine gum or nicotine lozenges and 26% reported selling e-cigarettes. The lack of tobacco cessation counseling and nicotine replacement therapy, weak policies, and availability of tobacco all contribute to Kansas county jails' prevalent tobacco culture. |
