我们调查了当报纸刊登更多关于吸烟健康风险的文章时，个人是否更不可能开始吸烟，更有可能戒烟。根据2008年土耳其全球成人烟草调查的9030名受访者的数据，我们构建了受访者自1925年以来的终生吸烟史，并对1925-2008年开始和停止吸烟的决定进行了建模。为了衡量信息，我们统计了土耳其主要报纸之一《国民报》上发表的文章。线性概率模型的结果显示，看过更多吸烟危害健康文章的人对吸烟与健康的关系了解更多。在保持每个人的信息存量、教育、居住地和香烟价格不变的情况下，我们发现，随着新信息的到来，所有队列中的男性和女性吸烟者戒烟的可能性都要大得多，而女性开始吸烟的可能性要小得多。我们的分析是第一个研究新信息如何影响吸烟决策的分析之一，同时控制每个人现有的信息存量。
We investigate whether individuals are less likely to start and more likely to quit smoking in years when newspapers publish more articles about the health risks of smoking. With data from 9030 respondents to the 2008 Global Adult Tobacco Survey in Turkey, we construct respondents’ life-course smoking histories back to 1925 and model initiation and cessation decisions taken 1925–2008. To measure information, we count articles published in Milliyet, one of Turkey’s major newspapers. Results from linear probability models show that people who have seen more smoking-health risk articles know more about the smoking–health relationship. Holding constant each individual’s information stock, education, place of residence, and the price of cigarettes, we find that, as new information arrives, male and female smokers in all cohorts are significantly more likely to quit and women are less likely to start. Our analysis is one of the first that examines how new information affects smoking decisions while controlling for each individual’s existing stock of information.
