Özet:

 The managerial approaches followed by companies that produce products harmful to health and carry out activities that harm public health by promoting the use of these products are expressed as commercial determinants of health. The tobacco industry is a sector that produces products that carry risks for public health, and tobacco and products derived from tobacco cause an increase in the burden of disease, loss of life years, increase in health expenditures, and decrease in national and global output with increasing production losses. The aim of this study is to evaluate the losses caused by the tobacco industry in terms of public health and economy in Turkey in terms of the demand effects of taxation of tobacco products, which is one of the indicators of the MPOWER policy package implemented under the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. The taxes imposed on tobacco products in Turkey and the effects of these taxes on demand will be analyzed in terms of indicators such as the affordability of cigarettes, i.e. the percentage of GDP per capita required to purchase 100 packs 2,000 of cigarettes of the most sold brand, and its relationship with the minimum wage.

 Sağlığa zararlı ürünleri üreten ve bu ürünlerin kullanımını teşvik ederek halk sağlığına zarar veren faaliyetler gerçekleştiren şirketlerin izledikleri yönetsel yaklaşımlar sağlığın ticari belirleyicisi olarak ifade edilmektedir. Tütün endüstrisi de halk sağlığı için risk taşıyan ürünlerin üretildiği bir sektör olup tütün ve tütünden elde edilen mamuller hastalık yükünün artmasına, yaşam yılı kayıplarına, sağlık harcamalarının artmasına ve artan üretim kayıplarıyla birlikte ulusal ve küresel hasılanın azalmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiyede tütün endüstrisinin halk sağlığı ve ekonomi açısından neden olduğu kayıpları Tütün Kontrolü Çerçeve Sözleşmesi kapsamında uygulanan MPOWER politika paketine ilişkin göstergelerden biri olan tütün ürünlerinin vergilendirilmesinin talepte neden olduğu etkiler açısından değerlendirmektir. Türkiyede tütün ürünleri için uygulanan vergiler ve bu vergilerin talebe olan etkileri, sigaranın satın alınabilirliği yani en çok satılan markanın 100 paket 2.000 sigarasını satın almak için gereken Kişi Başına Düşen GSYİH yüzdesi ve asgari ücret ile olan ilişkisi gibi göstergeler açısından analiz edilecektir.
