CIGARETTE QUITLINES, TAXES, AND OTHER TOBACCO CONTROL POLICIES: A STATE‐LEVEL ANALYSIS
利用2005年1月至2010年6月的州级面板数据，估计了烟草税、禁烟令及媒体宣传对戒烟热线呼叫量的影响，发现预期价格上涨会促使人们致电戒烟热线。
This paper estimates monthly quitline calls using panel data at the state level from January 2005 to June 2010. Calls to state quitline numbers (or 1-800-QUITNOW) were measured per million adult smokers in each state. The policies considered include excise taxes, workplace and public smoking bans, and a Peter Jennings television-based program warning of the health risks of smoking. We found that people anticipating increases in prices begin attempting to quit by calling quitlines. Finally, the Peter Jennings media campaign was highly correlated with quitline calls.
