Article Synopsis
- Thailand's tobacco control policies have shown progress but further action is needed to meet the WHO's 2025 target of reducing tobacco use by 30%.
- A Markov chain model was developed to analyze the effects of policies like accessibility restrictions, increased taxes, and cessation programs on male smoking rates and associated deaths from 2015 to 2025.
- Current measures could lower smoking rates among males from 41.7% in 2010 to approximately 33.7% by 2025, potentially preventing around 89,600 smoking-related deaths.
