ผลของทัศนคติเกี่ยวกับความเสี่ยงและความพอใจในการบริโภคต่างเวลาต่อการสูบบุหรี่ของวัยรุ่นในจังหวัดเชียงใหม่

Abstract

This study examined risk attitudes and time preferences to determine the influence on male adolescents' decision to smoke in Chiang Mai province. The study was conducted with 313 individuals aged 15 to 24 years who had lived in Chiang Mai for at least one year and completed online questionnaires between August and December 2022. Risk attitudes and time preferences were assessed differently from the experiment, which asked the sample to decide based on hypothetical situations. The study found that male adolescents who had close contacts with smokers caused the subjects to smoke more. Risk attitude did not influence smoking choice or amount smoked. However, time preference did influence smoking behavior. Discount rate was positively correlated with smoking choice and amount smoked. That is, people who prefer higher current consumption tend to smoke more.
