Tobacco is reported to be the second major cause of death in the
world and there is ever-increasing interest in the costs of
smoking, especially in the light of evidence of the health effects
of second-hand smoke. This book brings together the findings of
economists on the effectiveness of price and non-price policy
initiatives to combat smoking and draws conclusions regarding the
efficacy of the various policy measures. The authors evaluate the
relative effectiveness of price-based smoking control policies
(i.e. tax) in relation to non-price strategies (including
advertising restrictions, sales restrictions, territorial
restrictions and health warnings). They review evidence not only
from the US but also from around the world, drawing important
conclusions for developing countries where smoking is on the rise.
The book will be essential reading for policy makers, health
practitioners and researchers in health economics.
