DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Many states and localities have either recently enacted or are considering bans on smoking in restaurants, making this one of the most active areas of tobacco control policy. The proposed research is an innovative econometric study of the impact of restaurant smoking bans. It will make novel use of large national secondary data sets to explore under-studied questions about how restaurant smoking bans affect consumers of restaurant foods. It will also be the first to conduct an integrated study of the bans' impacts on both restaurant-going and smoking behaviors. The integrated approach will allow the study to capture the multiple margins on which smokers can adjust their behaviors in reaction to the bans. To meet its broad goal, the project has two specific aims. Specific Aim 1 is to estimate the impact of restaurant smoking bans on consumers' restaurant-going and smoking behaviors. To meet this aim, the project will use data from multiple waves of the Simmons National Consumer Survey (NCS) from 1996 - 2007. The combined waves of the NCS provide detailed information on the consumer behavior of a nation- wide sample of about 200,000 adults. The project will use individual-level NCS data on the following consumer behaviors: the number of visits during the past 30 days to specific family restaurants and in total; the number of visits during the past 30 days to specific fast food restaurants and in total; time spent eating out; the number of cigarettes smoked per day by current smokers; past-year cessation attempt; and past-year successful cessation. The project will estimate econometric reduced-form demand functions for restaurant-going and smoking. The explanatory variables in the demand functions will include smoking bans, prices, and other demand shifters. Specific Aim 2 is to estimate the impact of restaurant smoking bans on household expenditures for food away from home and on household expenditures for cigarettes. To meet this aim, the project will use data from multiple waves of the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES). The combined waves of the CES from 1996 - 2007 will provide a nationally representative sample of about 90,000 households. The project will use household-level CES data on: expenditures on food away from home; and expenditures on cigarettes. The project will estimate econometric reduced-form demand functions for expenditures for food away from home and expenditures on cigarettes. The explanatory variables in the demand functions will include smoking bans, prices, and other demand shifters. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Restaurant smoking bans are intended to reduce secondhand smoke exposure for both the customers and employees of restaurants, and they might also discourage smoking more generally. The public health impact of the bans depends partly on their impact on smokers' and nonsmoker's consumption of restaurant food. The proposed project will conduct an integrated study of the impact of the bans on consumer behavior.

描述（由申请人提供）：许多州和地方最近颁布或正在考虑禁止在餐馆吸烟，这使得餐馆成为烟草控制政策最活跃的领域之一。拟议的研究是一项关于餐厅禁烟令影响的创新计量经济学研究。它将新颖地利用大型国家二级数据集来探索有关餐厅禁烟令如何影响餐厅食品消费者的尚未充分研究的问题。它还将率先对禁令对就餐和吸烟行为的影响进行综合研究。综合方法将使研究能够捕捉吸烟者可以根据禁令调整其行为的多个边际。为了实现其总体目标，该项目有两个具体目标。具体目标 1 是评估餐厅禁烟令对消费者就餐和吸烟行为的影响。为了实现这一目标，该项目将使用 1996 年至 2007 年西蒙斯全国消费者调查 (NCS) 的多次数据。NCS 的组合提供了全国范围内约 200,000 名成年人样本的消费者行为的详细信息。 。该项目将使用有关以下消费者行为的个人层面 NCS 数据：过去 30 天内到访特定家庭餐馆的次数和总计；过去 30 天内到访特定快餐店的次数及总计；外出就餐的时间；目前吸烟者每天吸的香烟数量；去年尝试戒烟；以及去年的成功戒烟。该项目将估计去餐馆和吸烟的计量经济学简化需求函数。需求函数中的解释变量将包括吸烟禁令、价格和其他需求转移因素。具体目标 2 是估计餐厅禁烟令对家庭外出食品支出和家庭香烟支出的影响。为了实现这一目标，该项目将使用多轮消费者支出调查（CES）的数据。 1996 年至 2007 年 CES 的合并浪潮将提供约 90,000 个家庭的全国代表性样本。该项目将使用家庭层面的 CES 数据： 外出食品支出；以及香烟的支出。该项目将估计外出食品支出和香烟支出的计量经济学简化形式需求函数。需求函数中的解释变量将包括吸烟禁令、价格和其他需求转移因素。公共健康相关性：餐厅禁烟令旨在减少餐厅顾客和员工接触二手烟的机会，并且还可能更广泛地劝阻吸烟。禁令对公共健康的影响部分取决于其对吸烟者和非吸烟者餐厅食品消费的影响。拟议的项目将对禁令对消费者行为的影响进行综合研究。
