Tobacco: The Cost-effectiveness of Current Smoke-free Policies

Introduction The use of tobacco constitutes a worldwide epidemic that kills 5 million people each year (World Health Organization, 2008). If the current trend of tobacco use continues, tobacco-related deaths are predicted to increase to 8 million per year by 2030 - 80% of which occur in low and middle income countries (LMIC) ( Mathers & Loncar, 2006). Currently, about 10% of the world's smokers live in India (World Health Organization, 2008). The 2009-2010 World Adult Tobacco Survey is a nationally representative household survey that confirms that 34.6% of Indian adults over the age of 15 are using tobacco (International Population Institute).

The results of the review help to clarify the types of tobacco policies implemented at university campuses among university students in the United States and the influence they have on smoking behavior. Three main types of smoking policy have been studied: smoking policy, smoke-free policy, and partial smoking restrictions including ban smoking and designating smoking areas within 20-25 feet from all buildings Policy to implement. Indeed, campus-wide indoor and outdoor non-smoking policy is considered a gold standard of tobacco control policy within university campus. However, only one study compared smoking cessation policy and smoking cessation policy. Many other policies such as sales and distribution management of tobacco products, prevention education program, smoking cessation program, etc. are not considered much. In general it is difficult to find interventions in existing literature on the implementation of smoking policy at the university campus.

During September 2013 to May 2014, a series of policy studies were conducted for eight California four-year universities and eight college campus students (non-smoking policy, smoking policy, designation Outdoor smoking area, or California State law). . Non-smoking policy prohibits the use of all cigarettes, smoking policy prohibits smoking throughout the site, and designated outdoor areas have specific smoking areas. Schools other than policy comply with California law and prohibit smoking inside the university The entrance to the university campus is 20 feet 7. In addition to policy changes, we chose campuses from all provinces to reflect social and political differences around California.

Support tax increase law for tobacco products. Higher prices prevent teenagers from starting to smoke. The soaring price of tobacco products, coupled with smoking cessation laws, is the most effective public health policy to reduce adult smoking and to prevent young people from attending school. As a lifelong smoker, Sue Franconia resigned from an unhealthful habit. However, when Su continued to fulfill his dedication to her sister, the situation changed. Su Franken hated them when her 47-year relationship with cigarette ended. She is afraid of jealousy of her colleague and neighbor, so she sucked.
