Abstract
In today’s world consumption of tobacco products is a serious problem not only for people’s health but for various spheres of life. In this respect the Republic of Armenia is not an exception, as about 28% of its population regularly consumes different forms of tobacco products. It is clear that tobacco consumption is connected with numerous illnesses and at the same time acts as a key factor of risk for a number of non-infectious diseases, such as malignant tumors, diabetics, respiratory ways illnesses, cardio-vascular diseases, etc. Moreover, tobacco consumption is one of the principle reasons for untimely death, which in its turn can cause social and economic consequences. Tobacco consumption has a negative effect on labour productivity and efficiency. In the given analysis on the basis of state statistics an attempt was made to develop methods aimed at cutting the impact of tobacco consumption on public health expenses and on economy of Armenia in general.
