Tobacco Tax Increases Remain Most Effective Policy for Reducing Tobacco Use.
A Tobacconomics Research Brief. Chicago, IL: Tobacconomics, Health Policy Center, Institute for Health Research and Policy, University of Illinois at Chicago, 2017. http://www.tobacconomics.org/.
The recent National Cancer Institute and World Health Organization monograph on The Economics of Tobacco and Tobacco Control reaffirmed that "significantly increasing the excise tax and price of tobacco products is the single most consistently effective tool for reducing tobacco use." This conclusion is consistent with the findings from other recent comprehensive and/or systematic reviews.
