“…The findings of this study show similar findings from other previous studies about knowledge variables such as the health penalities of active and passive smoking (Al Mamun et al, 2018), smoking in public places (Sinha et al, 2008), the law of banning the sale of tobacco to minors (Abuelfoutoh et al, 2014), the banning of advertisements (Abuelfoutoh et al, 2014), an increase in taxes (Forster et al, 2007;Van Walbeek, 2005) and the lessons of negative effects of smoking (Bala et al, 2017;McVey & Stapleton, 2000). In short, measures concerning smoking reduction are well-known to smokers.…”

The development of a country is strongly influenced by a higher smoking rate among the young population. Understanding knowledge and attitudes regarding smoking among young people lies at the heart of effective tobacco control policies. Bangladesh is a large, low-income country in South Asia with a high rate of youth smoking. As yet, however, little attention has been paid to knowledge and attitudes among rural youth. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 385 youth males from the rural Mymensingh district of Bangladesh aged 15 to 24 were interviewed face-to-face. Univariate distribution (i.e., frequency analysis), bivariate analysis (i.e., Chi-square tests), and multivariate analysis (i.e., binary logistic regression model) were performed to determine the influence of knowledge and attitudes on youth male smoking. The percentage of youth smoking is 40.3 with knowledge and attitudes revealed as the more influential factors of smoking. For example, the chance of being a smoker with a satisfactory knowledge score is significantly lower than their counterparts (Odds ratio [OR]: 0.47 [0.30, 0.70]). Similarly, respondents with satisfactory attitudes scores have a significantly lower chance (OR: 0.40 [0.26, 0.61]) to be a smoker than those having an unsatisfactory score. This study exposes the influences of knowledge and attitudes among the youth toward smoking in rural parts of the Mymensingh district of Bangladesh. The findings and recommendations of this study will be more helpful to the authorities in revising the existing smoking policies accordingly to reduce and prevent youth smoking for the betterment of the country.

“…Were Albania to increase the excise rate to 75%, as per WHO FCTC minimum rate recommendation, the projected smoking reduction is 24.5% within 15 years [11]. Empirical work for many countries has consistently shown that taxation is the most effective instrument in reducing smoking [25,26]. Our finding that poor males are more likely to smoke than rich males also supports the notion that a much higher excise tax rate than the current 49% could be very effective in deterring smoking, particularly among poor males.…”

Background: Tobacco use is a serious health concern in Albania. While the prevalence of tobacco smoking has traditionally been higher for men, the increasing prevalence of smoking for women is becoming a concern. The 2007 Tobacco Control policy mandated smoke-free indoor spaces, banned various forms of tobacco advertising, required written health warnings on packaging and levied excise taxes on cigarette sales. Since smoking behavior varies among different demographic groups, each group's response to a uniform policy will differ, blunting the effectiveness of these efforts as a result. This study examines various socioeconomic, demographic and behavioral factors affecting both the likelihood and frequency of smoking in Albanian households in order to provide insights on targeting various populations more effectively. Methods: The study utilizes data from Albanian 2008-09 and 2017-18 Demographic and Health Surveys consisting of adults aged 15-49 years. The outcome variable includes respondents' current tobacco smoking behaviour and its frequency. The exposure variables include respondents' sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics. We use a two-level random intercept model with the two-stage residual inclusion estimation method to determine the association between outcome and exposure variables. By including a time variable, we capture the change in smoking behavior during the 2009-2018 period. We also extend the analysis by assessing the differential influence of gender on the likelihood of smoking, both by income quintiles and education. Results: The results suggest that the likelihood of smoking decreased by 23% in 2017-18 compared to 2008-09, after controlling for various socioeconomic and demographic factors. Tobacco smoking is also found to be linked to alcohol consumption, with binge drinkers 59% more likely to smoke tobacco compared to moderate drinkers. We also found significant inter-quintile and inter-educational differences in smoking practices within each gender category. While the likelihood of tobacco smoking decreases with increasing wealth and educational attainment among men, the opposite (for wealth) or more involved (for educational attainment) patterns are true among women. Conclusions: To further enhance the effectiveness of the current Tobacco Control policy, the Government of Albania should target various demographic groups (such as poor males, rich and educated females) in a differentiated fashion.

“…Pendekatan ini tidak hanya selaras dengan Sustainable Develop-ment Goals (SDGs) yang terkait dengan good health and well-being, namun juga dapat menangani dampak yang lebih luas dari efek negatif tembakau terhadap masyarakat (Kulik M. et al, 2017;Ahsan A. et al, 2022). Beberapa studi menunjukkan bahwa earmarking dapat berkontribusi signifikan terhadap pengurangan konsumsi produk tembakau dan resiko kesehatan (Chaloupka, 2019;van Walbeek, 2019;Nazar, 2021), dimana dana tersebut dapat digunakan untuk kebijakan kontrol tembakau (kampanye kesehatan publik, program berhenti merokok, wilayah bebas rokok) dan strategi countermarketing (Fakir, 2022;Wang et al, 2016). Namun, program tersebut juga mengalami tantangan terkait dengan intervensi industri tembakau (Balwicki et al 2016), faktor hukum dan politik berupa lemahnya konstruksi hukum (Borges et al, 2020), dan manipulasi industri tembakau berupa penurunan harga, perubahan atribut kemasan rokok, dan diskriminasi harga (Ross et al, 2017).…”

Alokasi sebagian pungutan cukai untuk mengatasi eksternalitas negatif di indonesia yang diterapkan dalam bentuk kebijakan Dana Bagi Hasil Cukai Hasil Tembakau (DBHCHT) belum memberikan hasil yang optimal. Hal ini terlihat dari masih tingginya prevalensi perokok dewasa, rendahnya kesejahteraan petani tembakau, dan massive-nya peredaran rokok ilegal. Atas dasar tersebut penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (1) mengidentifikasi bagaimana proses implementasi kebijakan berjalan dan (2) mengukur tingkat keberhasilan kebijakan berdasarkan isi dan konteks implementasinya. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif, dengan setting penelitian di Provinsi Jawa Timur. Data didapatkan dari Forum Group Discussion antara kementrian dan satuan kerja daerah, serta beberapa literatur dengan pendekatan content analysis, selanjutnya data dianalisis dengan model Miles, Huberman dan Saldana. Hasil utama penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa implementasi kebijakan berdasarkan analisis dengan model Van Meter dan Van Horn cukup berhasil dengan mayoritas indikator terpenuhi. Namun, terdapat tantangan berupa penyelewengan penggunaan anggaran dan serapan anggaran yang rendah di beberapa daerah. Selain itu, kebijakan DBHCHT ternyata lebih bersifat kuratif daripada preventif sehingga belum sepenuhnya efektif dalam pengendalian konsumsi produk tembakau. Implikasi penelitian ini menyarankan pemerintah provinsi untuk peningkatan pengawasan dan integritas dalam pengelolaan anggaran dengan optimalisasi e-DBHCHT dan pengembangan sasaran program/kegiatan yang diformulasikan berdasar partisipasi dan kolaborasi antar stakeholder dengan menggunakan eparticipation sebagai media dalam menjalin komonikasi kebijakan antar aktor kebijakan.
