Differential Impacts Of Smoke-Free Laws On Indoor Air Quality, Kiyoung Lee, Ellen J. Hahn, Nick Pieper, Chizimuzo T.C. Okoli, James Repace, Adewale Troutman

Nursing Faculty Publications

The authors assessed the impacts of two different smoke-free laws on indoor air quality. They compared the indoor air quality of 10 hospitality venues in Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky, before and after the smoke-free laws went into effect. Real-time measurements of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 µm or smaller (PM2.5) were made. One Lexington establishment was excluded from the analysis of results because of apparent smoking violation after the law went into effect. The average indoor PM2.5 concentrations in the nine Lexington venues decreased 91 percent, from 199 to 18 µg/m3. The average …

The Hazards Of Starting The Cigarette Smoking Habit, Nisha Malhotra, Brahim Boudarbat Dec 2007

The Hazards Of Starting The Cigarette Smoking Habit, Nisha Malhotra, Brahim Boudarbat

Nisha Malhotra

In order to develop effective policies and programs that reduce the number of smokers a necessary first step is to understand the determinants of starting to smoke. In this paper, we present a split-sample duration model of the decision to start smoking. We use data from the 2002 Canadian tobacco use monitoring survey. The hazard rate of starting smoking peaks sharply at age 15 and quickly declines thereafter. Our parametric estimates provide evidence that gender, education, marital status and household size are important determinants of the smoking habit. We also find that higher cigarettes prices have an impact on picking …
