Effect of Increased Social Unacceptability of Cigarette Smoking on Reduction in Cigarette Consumption

Abstract: Taxes on cigarettes have long been used to help reduce cigarette consumption. Social factors also affect cigarette consumption, but this impact has not been quantified. We computed a social unacceptability index based on individuals’ responses to questions regarding locations where smoking should be allowed. A regression analysis showed that the social unacceptability index and price had similar elasticities and that their effects were independent of each other. If, through an active tobacco control campaign,… Show more

“…Therefore, a likely explanation is that states that already have higher support are more likely to implement smoke-free laws. 19 Also, increases in support for smoke-free laws and the implementation of smoke-free laws may both be the reflection of a process of denormalization of smoking 3,5,6,20 that may be more present in some states than in others.

“…The increase in the social unacceptability of smoking has had a dramatic impact on tobacco use in the US (Alamar and Glantz 2006) especially, in states and cities that have enacted tough tobacco control policies (Gilpin, Lee and Pierce 2004;Frieden et al 2005). However, how policies (e.g., smoke free air laws) and social factors (e.g., social norms) drive the social unacceptability of tobacco use are not well understood.…”
