Также изучалось, как эти факторы различаются в зависимости от демографических характеристик и уровня узнаваемости бренда. Кроме того, в исследовании рассматривались этические последствия брендинга вредных товаров и то, смягчают ли национальные правила негативные последствия такого маркетинга. Эксперты считают, что брендинг влияет на поведение потребителей, привлекая внимание исследователей, особенно в отраслях, продающих продукцию, негативно влияющую на здоровье потребителей. Данное исследование было сосредоточено на казахстанском рынке сигарет и алкоголя, чтобы оценить, как стратегии брендинга влияют на выбор потребителей в категориях опасных товаров. Опираясь на существующую литературу по поведению потребителей, лояльности к бренду и этичности маркетинга вредных товаров, исследователь стремился определить, формирует ли брендинг восприятие и потребление потребителей. Использовалась комбинация первичных и вторичных источников данных, а также был проведен опрос для оценки отношения потребителей к брендингу на казахстанском рынке. Результаты показали, что брендинг оказывает значительное влияние на поведение потребителей. Однако в отношении вредных товаров были выявлены определенные ограничения. В условиях растущих этических проблем и повышения осведомленности о рисках для здоровья эффективность брендинга оказалась ниже, чем раньше. Исследование было ограничено тем, что оно было сосредоточено на казахстанском рынке, который может не в полной мере отражать глобальное поведение потребителей в отношении вредных товаров. Кроме того, использование данных самоотчета в опросе могло привести к предвзятости ответов. Данное исследование вносит вклад в дискуссию об этичности брендинга вредных товаров, предоставляя информацию о поведении потребителей на развивающемся рынке. Оно подчеркивает эволюцию эффективности брендинга на фоне растущих этических проблем и нормативных мер, предлагая ценные выводы для политиков, бизнеса и исследователей. Исследование также подчеркивает необходимость более строгих правил, регулирующих брендинг вредных товаров.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This study aimed to analyze the impact of branding on hazardous products such as tobacco, alcohol, and drugs, focusing on consumer preferences, trust, and purchasing behavior. It also examined how these factors varied across different demographics and levels of brand awareness. Additionally, the study explored the ethical implications of branding harmful products and whether national regulations mitigated the adverse effects of such marketing. Experts believed that branding influenced consumer behavior, attracting the attention of researchers, particularly in industries that sold products that negatively impact consumer health. This study focused on the Kazakhstani cigarette and alcohol markets to assess how branding strategies influenced consumer choices within dangerous product categories. By drawing on existing literature on consumer behavior, brand loyalty, and the ethicality of marketing harmful goods, the researcher sought to determine whether branding shaped consumer perception and consumption. A combination of primary and secondary data sources was used, and a survey was conducted to evaluate consumer attitudes toward branding in the Kazakh market. The findings indicated that branding significantly influenced consumer behavior. However, regarding harmful products, certain limitations emerged. With increasing ethical concerns and growing awareness of health risks, branding appeared to be less effective than before. The study was limited by its focus on the Kazakhstani market, which may not fully represent global consumer behavior regarding harmful products. Additionally, the reliance on self-reported survey data introduced the possibility of response bias. This study contributes to the discourse on the ethicality of branding harmful products by providing insights into consumer behavior in an emerging market. It highlights the evolving effectiveness of branding amid rising ethical concerns and regulatory measures, offering valuable implications for policymakers, businesses, and researchers. The study also emphasizes the need for stricter regulations governing the branding of harmful goods.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>брендинг</kwd><kwd>восприятие потребителей</kwd><kwd>маркетинг табака и алкоголя</kwd><kwd>риски для здоровья</kwd><kwd>казахстанский рынок</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>branding</kwd><kwd>consumer perception</kwd><kwd>tobacco and alcohol marketing</kwd><kwd>health risks</kwd><kwd>Kazakhstan market</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Potluri, R.
