Discussion

Ecological study evaluates smoking prevalence and quit ratios across income groups, highlighting disparities.

Inequalities in smoking rates persist, with high-income groups exhibiting significantly lower smoking prevalence.
Data shows high-income residents had a quit ratio of 55% compared to 32% in low-income residents.
The study employs multiple linear regression models to analyze changes in smoking prevalence between 2009 and 2020.
Tailoring tobacco policies is crucial for addressing disparities, vital for achieving a tobacco-free EU by 2040.
