AB - Objectives This study assessed the support for bans fortobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs in adolescents and youngadults across the European Union (EU).Methods Data were analysed for the years 2008, 2011, and2014 for 27 EU member states. 37,253 individuals aged15–24 years were interviewed ascertaining their supportfor banning tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, heroin,and ecstasy. Changes over time were assessed using multilevellogistic regression.Results Support for banning heroin, ecstasy, and cocainewas constantly greater than 90%, although support fell overtime. Support for cannabis ban declined (from 67.6% in2008 to 53.7% in 2014) as well as support for alcohol ban(from 8.9% in 2008 to 6.9% in 2014) and tobacco ban(from 17.9% in 2008 to 16.5% in 2014).Conclusions Support for banning substances among EUadolescents and young adults varied, with high support forheroin, cocaine, and ecstasy, but less support for banningcannabis, tobacco, and alcohol. There was reduction insupport of banning all substances between 2008 and 2014,but this varied substantially between European countries.
