American Indian Views of Smoking: Risk and Protective Factors
Volume 1, Issue 2 (December 2010) http://www.hawaii.edu/sswork/jivsw http://hdl.handle.net/10125/12527 E-ISSN 2151-349X pp. 1-18 ‘This Tobacco Has Always Been Here for Us,’ American Indian Views of Smoking: Risk and Protective Factors Sandra L. Momper Beth Glover Reed University of Michigan University of Michigan Mary Kate Dennis University of Michigan Abstract We utilized eight talking circles to elicit American Indian views of smoking on a U.S. reservation. We report on (1) the historical context of tobacco use among Ojibwe Indians; (2) risk factors that facilitate use: peer/parental smoking, acceptability/ availability of cigarettes; (3) cessation efforts/ inhibiting factors for cessation: smoking while pregnant, smoking to reduce stress , beliefs that cessation leads to debilitating withdrawals; and (4) protective factors that inhibit smoking initiation/ use: negative health effects of smoking, parental and familial smoking behaviors, encouragement from youth to quit smoking, positive health benefits, “cold turkey” quitting, prohibition of smoking in tribal buildings/homes. Smoking is prevalent, but protective behaviors are evident and can assist in designing culturally sensitive prevention, intervention and cessation programs. Key Words American Indians • Native Americans • Indigenous • tobacco • smoking • community based research Acknowledgments We would like to say thank you (Miigwetch) to all tribal members for their willingness to share their stories and work with us, and in particular, the Research Associate and Observer (Chi-Miigwetch).

Health Information and Life-Course Smoking Behavior: Evidence from Turkey
The European Journal of Health Economics https://doi.org/10.1007/s10198-018-0988-9 ORIGINAL PAPER Health information and life-course smoking behavior: evidence from Turkey Dean R. Lillard1 · Zeynep Önder2 Received: 10 August 2017 / Accepted: 7 June 2018 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract We investigate whether individuals are less likely to start and more likely to quit smoking in years when newspapers publish more articles about the health risks of smoking. With data from 9030 respondents to the 2008 Global Adult Tobacco Survey in Turkey, we construct respondents’ life-course smoking histories back to 1925 and model initiation and cessation deci- sions taken 1925–2008. To measure information, we count articles published in Milliyet, one of Turkey’s major newspapers. Results from linear probability models show that people who have seen more smoking-health risk articles know more about the smoking–health relationship. Holding constant each individual’s information stock, education, place of residence, and the price of cigarettes, we find that, as new information arrives, male and female smokers in all cohorts are significantly more likely to quit and women are less likely to start. Our analysis is one of the first that examines how new information affects smoking decisions while controlling for each individual’s existing stock of information. Keywords Information stock and flow · Initiation · Cessation · Life-course smoking history · Turkey JEL Classification I12 · I18 · I20 Introduction Studies that specifically focus on smoking show that people with greater knowledge of the health risks of smoking are We investigate the role information plays in individual deci- less likely to smoke [11, 14, 16]. -
The Effect of Taxation and Regulation on Cigarette Smoking: Fresh Evidence from Turkey

Received 5 May 2016 This paper aims to reveal on the effect of anti-tobacco policies such as excise taxes and regulations on Received in revised form cigarette smoking. To this aim, I empirically investigate the long-term dynamics of demand for cigarettes 20 September 2017 in Turkey through the OLS estimation strategy under various scenarios and models. Using monthly and Accepted 24 September 2017 quarterly data that cover the pre- and post- anti-smoking policy periods, I estimate demand elasticities and compare the pre- and post- taxation and regulation terms. The results presented in the paper confirms JEL classification: that taxation and regulation have affected the long-term dynamics of demand for cigarettes. The price H25 I18 and income elasticities of demand for cigarettes are significantly higher than the previous literature on K23 Turkey. Demand elasticities have increased on average in the anti-tobacco policies period. © 2017 Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd. Keywords: Tobacco industry Taxation Public policy 1.

EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF HEALTH AND EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT IN TURKEY Dilek KILIC A thesis submitted to the University of Sheffield for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Economics Date Submitted: June 2012 ABSTRACT The overall aim of this thesis is to examine and analyse three separate yet related issues in health and education that have been attracting increasing attention on the policy agenda in Turkey, especially over the recent decade. Public policy attention has particularly been devoted to issues such as financial protection against health care costs, decreasing the smoking prevalence rate and closing the gender gap in educational attainment. One of the main reasons behind the interest of policy makers in these areas may be attributed to need of the country to enhance human capital as well as to its aim to fulfill the requirements for EU membership. This provides the motivation for the empirical analyses presented in this thesis which investigate these issues in depth and, where relevant, provide policy implications. The first empirical study presented in Chapter 2 investigates the prevalence of ‘catastrophic’ out-of-pocket health care expenditure in Turkey and identifies the factors which are associated with its risk. -
