N2  - The aim of this study is to examine the socio-economic patterns of tobacco cessation among tobacco users (smokers as well as smokeless tobacco users). Data on tobacco users was derived from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey 2016-17 (GATS-2). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to examine the association of socio-demographic variables with tobacco cessation outcomes. Tobacco users of lower socio-economic status were found to be less successful in quitting, compared with their counterparts of higher socio-economic. The inequalities identified suggest targeted interventions for particular groups of tobacco users. Decreases in morbidity and mortality attributable to tobacco will have long-term effects on productivity of the population. – Reproduced
