dc.description.abstractObjectiveThis study aims to determine the indicators of tobacco use in T & uuml;rkiye within a multidimensional context as socio-demographic, physical, behavioural, and psychological as a response to the tobacco control policies.MethodsThe Turkish Health Survey data in 2014 and 2019 are employed within a probit model approach and the differences in tobacco are decomposed use by gender in order to reveal the gender differences. The samples in 2014 (total n = 19,129; males = 8 721, females = 10,408) and 2019 (total n = 17,084; males = 7 784, females = 9300) were restricted to 15-year-old and above.ResultsThe findings indicate that being in the 30-49 age cohort, having lower education, and being married increase the likelihood of tobacco use. Future policies and campaigns should specifically target the single, pre-obese, employed males who consume alcohol. For females, the gender-specific policies should aim to reduce the prevalence of smoking, especially among separated or widows, obese, and out of the labour force. The contribution of mental health indicators on tobacco use has declined over the 5 years, which could be a result of the supportive free health services in T & uuml;rkiye. The findings provide evidence for a significant and increasing gender difference in tobacco use in T & uuml;rkiye along with reporting that the most significant contributors to gender differences in tobacco use are alcohol consumption and education level.ConclusionEven though the Ministry of Health and the government have been implementing anti-tobacco policies, legislations, and campaigns for years, the tobacco use prevalence has remained high and even increased in T & uuml;rkiye. This study examines tobacco consumption in T & uuml;rkiye in response to national control policies. Policies that address the complexities of tobacco use and gender differences could mitigate harm. Future tobacco reduction policies should focus on single, pre-obese, employed males who consume alcohol. Future initiatives for females should target separated or widowed, obese individuals who are out of the labour force.
