25There has been a dearth of literature on smoking inequalities, in spite of its contribution to health inequalities.
We exploit longitudinal Italian individual-level data to identify the main socio-demographic characteristics that determine smoking inequalities. We use the Erreygers Concentration Index to identify in which groups smoking is relatively more prevalent. We find that, among men, pro-poor prevalence is driven by members of the lower socio-economic classes, while we observe the opposite for women.
We encourage policymakers to address the issue of smoking inequalities, which the current policies have largely disregarded.
