“…The number of cigarette packs per month was considered as the dependent variable. It has been reported that characteristics of the individuals affect the decision and amount of cigarette consumption (JONES, 1989;TYAS & PEDERSON, 1998;BILGIC et al, 2010;BILGIC &Yen, 2015;AKSOY et al, 2019). We are not going to discuss these variables in greater detail here and confine ourselves with Table 1.…”

“…The increase in tobacco use in the country has led policy-makers to look for new strategies on how to curb this rise. With 177 countries in 2003, Turkey has signed the first international treaty on tobacco control, the socalled "Framework Convention on Tobacco Control" agreement (OĞUZTÜRK & GÜLCÜ, 2012;BILGIC et al, 2013;AKSOY et al, 2019). Based on the agreement, the National Tobacco Control Program Action Plan (NTCPAP) 2008 came into force in 2008 in the country.…”

“…According to this law, smoking is prohibited in all public spaces, hospitals, taxis, sports halls, play parks, and inside and outside the school. Later, a new ban has been extended to include restaurants and cafes throughout the country (AKSOY et al, 2019).…”

“…In studies on cigarette consumption in the country (BILGIC et al, 2010;KILIC & OZTURK, 2014;BILGIC & YEN, 2015;AKSOY et al, 2019), the health factors of individuals or households are often ignored. However, there is a close concurrent relationship between smoking and health factors.…”

In this study, we analyzed the role of individuals’ health-related factors along with socio-demographic and economic characteristics on both the likelihood of tobacco consumption and quantity demanded levels using two competitive econometric methods: double hurdle model versus hyperbolic sine double-hurdle model. Statistical tests confirmed the dependency errors between the prevalence rate of smoking and the consumption level, whilst the inverse-hyperbolic sine double-hurdle model data fits best in describing the normalization of the data and the two data generating processes: the probability and consumption levels of cigarettes. Also, the variance-covariance of the selected model as a function of additional exogenous variables are confirmed, while the error terms between the likelihood to smoke and the consumption levels are positive and statistically significant, indicating that holding control variables fixed, the uncontrolled variables out of the system that increase the prevalence rate of smoking also boost the consumption level, or vice versa. Many individual disease variables are significant in both equations, breaking new grounds in literature for identifying how both the prevalence rate of smoking and amount have shaped.

“…Of course, financial strain is strongly associated with income and affects individuals more adversely in lower income families. Aksoy et al ( 2019 ) measured the socio-economic determinants of tobacco and alcohol consumption in Turkey to understand policy prescriptions that might work to reduce tobacco and alcohol use. Tobacco leads to”blending,” i.e., reducing the household budget for other household expenditures, affecting other members of the household, as well as indirectly increasing health-care related expenditures.…”

This article is a review of thirty health-related articles published in the Journal of Family and Economic Issues from 2009 until 2019. This review discusses how the thirty studies have addressed broad areas of concern around health care access, health utilization and health status as well as health policy and implications and contributed to the advancement of knowledge in these areas. Articles mostly focused on health outcomes for families or demographic groups within families, with an emphasis on socioeconomic inequalities and inequitable burdens faced. The emphasis over the last decade has been research on chronic or non-communicable health conditions and none on communicable diseases.
