Abstract: (102 Views)
Background & Objectives: The quality of cosmetic and health products has a great impact on the health of society. The objectives include determining the relationship between the import of cosmetic products and the control of smuggling, the relationship between the control of smuggling and fraud with the health level of the society, and the relationship between the import of cosmetic products and the health level of the society.
Materials & Methods: This research is of applied type and was carried out by descriptive-correlation method. The statistical population includes those related to cosmetics and health products, and 384 people are evaluated in Tehran, 1402. Data analysis was done using SPSS software and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation.
Results: The Pearson correlation results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between the amount of imports and the control of smuggling, also a positive and significant relationship between the amount of imports and the promotion of community health (P<0.05), but there is no significant relationship between the control of smuggling and the promotion of community health (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Results show that controlling smuggling with the current method cannot be considered an appropriate policy and will lead to a more unbalanced domestic economy, the creation of monopolies, the spread of smuggling and economic corruption. The smuggling is rooted in restrictions and prohibitions on official imports, while supporting production, facilitating matters should be on the government's agenda so we can witness the elimination of the imbalance in the cosmetic and health products market nationwide.
