The price of cigarettes and bidis is known to be related to the cessation of these products.
To assess the perception of smokers about their quitting behavior on price increase in smoke tobacco product.
A population-based cross-sectional study among people who were 18 years of age and above was conducted in 2017 among 277 participants in Haryana. Global adult tobacco survey 2009 questionnaire with objective oriented modification was used to examine the willingness to pay (WLP) for a smoked tobacco product, maximum price for quitting smoking, reinitiating smoking, and the knowledge about harmful effects of using tobacco products. Descriptive statistics and odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to find the relationship among various demographic characteristics and price of quitting smoking.
Among the participants, 65 (23.4%) were found to be current smoker and of them 48 (74%) smokers responded to quit smoking on increasing the price of smoked tobacco products. Average daily price paid by the smokers was Rs. 23 and Rs. 8 for cigarettes and bidis, respectively. The odds of quitting smoking among cigarette smokers were higher than those of among bidi smokers (OR = 5.2, 95% CI 2.877-10.04). The odds of quitting smoking among those spending more than Rs. 10/day were lower than those spending <Rs. 10 on these products (OR = 4.8, 95% CI 1.1-22.3). 72.9% of the smokers declared >100% increase in current price for quitting smoking.
An increased magnitude of price increase on smoke tobacco products is invariably an effective method of decreasing smoking prevalence.
香烟和比迪烟的价格与这些产品的停止使用有关。
评估吸烟者对烟草产品价格上涨后戒烟行为的看法。
2017 年，在哈里亚纳邦对 277 名 18 岁及以上的人群进行了一项基于人群的横断面研究。使用 2009 年全球成人烟草调查的问卷，并进行了目标导向的修改，以调查对吸烟产品的支付意愿（WLP）、戒烟的最高价格、重新吸烟以及对使用烟草产品的有害影响的了解。采用描述性统计和比值比（OR）及 95%置信区间（CI）来发现各种人口统计学特征与戒烟价格之间的关系。
在参与者中，发现有 65 人（23.4%）为当前吸烟者，其中 48 人（74%）吸烟者表示愿意在提高烟草制品价格的情况下戒烟。吸烟者的平均日吸烟价格分别为 Rs.23 和 Rs.8，用于香烟和比迪烟。香烟吸烟者戒烟的可能性高于比迪烟吸烟者（OR=5.2，95%CI 2.877-10.04）。每天花费超过 Rs.10 的吸烟者戒烟的可能性低于每天花费<Rs.10 的吸烟者（OR=4.8，95%CI 1.1-22.3）。72.9%的吸烟者表示当前价格上涨 100%以上才能戒烟。
烟草产品价格大幅上涨总是减少吸烟率的有效方法。
