Social acceptability of smoking and unintended consequences of tobacco control in the Czech Republic
Pešková, Olga ; Nekola, Martin (advisor) ; Tušková, Eva (referee)
The diploma thesis "Social acceptability of smoking and unintended consequences of tobacco control in the Czech Republic" offers an understanding of the question whether the smokers in the Czech Republic are stigmatized in connection with denormalization strategies, whether and how public policies contribute to them and what their unintended negative consequences on the health of citizens in various forms. Research from a semi-structured in- depth interview with smokers revealed that they perceive that smoking is neither normal nor modern. While there was no stigmatization among respondents, as demonstrated abroad, some elements suggesting stigmatization were present. Some smokers feel that they are negatively perceived by the neighborhood, as manifested by their relatives, as well as negative verbal and nonverbal expressions from the wider environment. The negative consequences of stigmatization in respondents to this research, unlike foreign experiences, did not show up in the social and health spheres and did not imply a significant change in cigarette consumption of a given smoker. The influence of public policies on stigmatization of smokers has also not significantly materialized in this research.

Analysis of smoking regulations in Australia and the Czech Republic
Dokulilová, Markéta ; Mirvald, Michal (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
The main goal of this thesis is to analyze the effectiveness of state smoking regulations and its impact on the consumer behaviour in Australia and the Czech Republic. The thesis describes all established and possible government mechanisms in reducing smoking in detail and indicates future development of those tools as well. Furthermore, there is a theoretical explanation of a consumer reaction to different types of regulations based on a theory of rational addiction (Becker, Murphy, 1988). The question of the effectiveness of regulations and their impact on consumer behaviour in Australia and the Czech Republic was examined by using a questionnaire survey. The results of the thesis have confirmed that the price was not the most effective way of regulating smoking in both countries. On the contrary, smoking bans in public places have been identified as the tool with the strongest impact on reducing smoking. Australia and the Czech Republic both slightly differs in reactions on the smoking regulations, but the main conclusions of the thesis are similar in both countries.

Market regulation as an example of smoking ban at public places in European Union
Štemberová, Daniela ; Ševčík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Nováček, Jan (referee)
Bakalářská práce si klade jako hlavní cíl analyzovat aktuální opatření některých členských zemí Evropské unie, které se rozhodly zakázat kouření ve veřejných prostorách, a to především v restauracích a barech, a zjistit, zda je omezení dostupnosti tabáku efektivním prostředkem regulace tabáku. Dále práce definuje, zda tyto vládní opatření mají vliv na poptávku po tabáku v jednotlivých členských zemích a jestli regulace napomáhá k omezení spotřeby tabáku (z hlediska přírůstku nových kuřáků a úbytku počtu stávajících kuřáků). V teoretické části se práce zaměří na ty aspekty ekonomické regulace, které se uplatňují ve zkoumané strategii tabákové politiky. Práce dále ukáže, za jakých okolností tyto nástroje regulace vznikaly a jak byly přijaty veřejností. Zaměří se také na to, zda se Evropská unie snaží nějakým způsobem tabákovou politiku ovlivňovat a zda se jí snaží sjednotit, čímž poukazuje na budoucí trendy v regulaci.
