  • Impact of Point-of-Sale Tobacco Display Bans in Thailand

    Open AccessLin Li, Ron Borland et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2015

    In September 2005 Thailand became the first Asian country to implement a complete ban on the display of cigarettes and other tobacco products at point-of-sale (POS). This paper examined the impact of the POS tobacco display ban in Thailand, with Malaysia (which did not impose bans) serving as a comparison. The data came from the International Tobacco Control Southeast Asia Survey (2005-2011), a prospective cohort survey designed to evaluate the p…

  • Predictors of Successful Quitting among Thai Adult Smokers

    Open AccessAree Jampaklay, Ron Borland et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2015

    This study uses longitudinal data from the International Tobacco Control Southeast Asia (ITC-SEA Thailand) survey to explore patterns and predictors of successful quitting among Thai adult smokers as a function of time quit. A cohort of a representative sample of 2000 smokers was surveyed four times from 2005 to 2009. A sample of 1533 individuals provided data for at least one of the reported analyses. Over the four years of follow-up, 97% made a…

Protocol development and translation involved multiple bilingual partners in each linguistic/cultural group. The study was conducted with conve…

  • Malaysian and Thai smokers' beliefs about the harmfulness of ‘light’ and menthol cigarettes

    Bill King, H-H Yong et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2010

    The experience of smoother smoke is likely to produce some level of belief in reduced harm, regardless of how brands are labelled and whether or not Federal Trade Commission FTC/International Organisation for Standardisation tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide yield figures are used

  • Cigarette purchasing behaviour in Thailand and Malaysia

    Open AccessHana Ross, Pete Driezen et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2009

    A wide range of cigarette prices can undermine the impact of tobacco tax policy when smokers switch to cheaper cigarettes instead of quitting. In order to better understand this behaviour, we study socio-economic determinants of price/brand choices in two different markets: a semi-monopolistic market in Thailand and a competitive market in Malaysia. The hypothesis that the factors affecting the price/brand choice are different in these two market…

    Open AccessLin Li, H-H Yong et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2009

    There is a big gap between China and the better-performing countries such as Thailand and Australia regarding tobacco promotion restrictions. China needs to do more, including enhanced policy and more robust enforcement

  • Levels and correlates of awareness of tobacco promotional activities among adult smokers in Malaysia and Thailand

    H-H Yong, Ron Borland et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2008

    These findings demonstrate that comprehensive tobacco advertising legislation when well implemented can lead to dramatic decline in awareness of tobacco promotion, thus supporting strong implementation of Article 13 of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control
