Smoking, health knowledge, and anti-smoking campaigns: an empirical study in Taiwan

Article Abstract:

The three types of policies which countries have developed against smoking include increasing the excise taxes on cigarettes, imposing smoking regulations in public places or private work areas and providing public information and education on the hazards of smoking. A measure of health knowledge of smoking hazards is used to analyze the determinants of health knowledge and how it affects smoking behavior. Anti-smoking campaigns were found to have a major positive effect on public health knowledge and a negative effect on smoking participation.
