Tobacco control environment: cross-sectional survey of policy implementation, social unacceptability, knowledge of tobacco health harms and relationship to quit ratio in 17 low-inc... by Annika Rosengren, Li Wei, Khalid Yusoff, Martin McKee, Clara K Chow, Rajeev Gupta, Koon Teo, Sumathy Rangarajan, Patricio Lopez-Jaramillo, Rafael Diaz, Alvaro Avezum, Fernando Lanas, Noorhassim Ismail, Romaina Iqbal, Jephat Chifamba, Gilles Dagenais, Salim Yusuf, Anna B Gilmore, Scott Lear, Wang Yang, Omar Rahman, Katarzyna Zatonska, Prem Mony, Rajesh Kumar, Afzalhussein Yusufali, Daniel J Corsi, Ehimario Igumbor, V Mohan, Annamarie Kruger, Krishnapillai Vijayakumar, Yuksel Altuntas, Ahmad Bahonar

“…Summary scores of policy implementation, social unacceptability and knowledge were positively and significantly associated with quit ratio and the associations varied by gender, for example, communities in the highest quintile of the combined scores had 5.0 times the quit ratio in men (Odds ratio (OR) 5·0, 95% CI 3.4 to 7.4) and 4.1 times the quit ratio in women (OR 4.1, 95% CI 2.4 to 7.1).Conclusions This study suggests that more focus is needed on ensuring the tobacco control policy is actually implemented, particularly in LMICs. The gender-related differences in associations of policy, social unacceptability and knowledge suggest that different strategies to promoting quitting may need to be implemented in men compared to women.…”
