Introduction
Nowadays, tobacco is considered as one of the biggest threats to
human being’s health. The nicotine which it contains, is known for its
high level of addictiveness. In 2019 alone, it was estimated that every
year 8 million people die because of constant consumption of product
(WHO, 2020). Countries around the world create diff erent policies in
order to decrease the level of smokers. Rarely, countries put a ban on
the selling of product entirely, the fi rst country and only country to do
that was Bhutan in 2003 (S.Ugen, 2003) by putting a ban on the sale of
tobacco, as well as smoking in public places.
Kazakhstan’s situation with its citizen’s smoking habits doesn’t
become better with each year passing and the government is trying
to fi nd a way to solve rising indexes in smoking statistics (Agency of
strategic planning and reforms, 2015). As of today, a restriction that
would ban smoking at least in public places hasn’t been implemented
yet. One of the biggest possibilities as to why any kind of actions were
not made by authorities have to do with the public’s response to these
restrictions. That is why countries that are interested in implementing
bans conduct surveys among citizens. Knowing their reaction will help
them in further creating the process of anti-tobacco policy.
In this paper by using econometric instruments, authors analyze
factors that impact public’s response to possible implemented tobacco
bans (particularly in public places). We think that in order to create
a successful anti-tobacco policy, it’s important to have a clear
understanding of what kind of social-economic factors aff ect the
public’s reaction to anti-tobacco measures (other than their own status).
In the second and third part we introduce the model through which
the evaluation was executed and its results. Findings of the work are
situated in the main part of the paper which ends with conclusion.
