Özet:

 


The aim of this
study is to analyze tobacco use behaviour of the people aged 15 years and over
in Turkey. Also, association between
tobacco use and socio-demographic variables (gender, age, education, marital
status, employment status, household income) and tobacco-related
disease variables (asthma, lung diseases,  coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke and also alcohol use) is investigated.  In this study,
dataset has been gathered from Turkey Health Interview Survey 2016 conducted by
Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) including 17,242 individuals. Since all variables are categorical, results are
presented as frequencies and percentages. To determine whether or not there is
a assocation between related variables, Chi-Square test has been conducted  and Cramer’s V coefficient has been
calculated. Additionally, t-test has been employed for continuous variables.
Based on results of analyses, it has been seen that 43% of males and 18.57% of
females and overall 29.43% of the respondents are current tobacco smokers while
14.19% of respondents are former tobacco smokers in Turkey. Accordingly, prevelence of tobacco use is quite higher
among males than males. With regard to relationship between tobacco use status
and social-demographing variables, gender and education level are found to be
the most significant factors On the other hand, alcohol use is highly related
with smoked tobacco. The results obtained from t test indicate that males
started smoking earlier than females and also the number of cigarettes smoked
per day in males is higher than females. Just about
one-third of the daily
smokers attempted to quit smoking and former smokers did not take any
assistance to quit smoking. This result indicates that smokers should be encouraged to
quit smoking using other cessation methods with new regulations.
