Economic And Social Dynamics Of The Traditional Cigarette Consumption Market In Mexico: 2016-2022

Abstract

This study analyzes the sociodemographic and economic factors that influence the likelihood of smoking in Mexico. The objective was to analyze the key variables affecting tobacco consumption, and the hypothesis posits that factors such as income and geographic location would have a significant effect on the probability of smoking. The methodology employed a quantitative approach with a predictive scope using a probit model, which allowed for the evaluation of the relationship between the variables and the probability of smoking.

The results show that living in urban areas, having higher income, and not having minors in the household increase the probability of smoking. In contrast, factors such as older age, living in rural areas, and the presence of minors reduce this likelihood. Furthermore, the probability of smoking has decreased over time, suggesting a positive impact of anti-tobacco policies
