Self-reported price of cigarettes, consumption and compensatory behaviours in a cohort of Mexican smokers before and after a cigarette tax increase Since no other tobacco control policies or programmes were implemented during the period analysed, the tax increase appears likely to have decreased consumption. Results suggest that the 2007 tax increase was passed on to consumers, whose consumption generally declined.
In multivariate models, lighter smokers were more likely than heavier smokers to be quit. A total of 13% (n=98) of the sample reported being quit for a month or more at follow-up. Average daily consumption among lighter smokers did not significantly decline. Longitudinal negative binomial regression models showed that, adjusted for propensity for baseline e- cigarette use, non- daily smokers who reported more frequent use of e- cigarettes upon study entry reported greater quantity and frequency of cigarette smoking at baseline and greater increases in cigarette quantity over 12months than non- daily cigarette only smokers (ps5 cigarettes/day). Cigarette and e- cigarette use were assessed online or via mobile phone every three months for one year between March 2015 and December 2016. Participants (n=391 52% male) were 18-24year-old non- daily cigarette smokers recruited from across California. The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that use of e- cigarettes among young adult non- daily cigarette smokers would be associated with increased cigarette consumption. Recent studies suggest that e- cigarette use among youth may be associated with increased risk of cigarette initiation. Hence, prices of both cigarettes and bidis do not influence their consumption.ĭoes e- cigarette use predict cigarette escalation?

Cigarettes although more expensive than bidis, seem very cheap if compared internationally. Smokers purchasing bidis in packs paid substantially less per unit and purchase of bidis and cigarettes in packs influenced their consumption positively. The unit prices of bidis and cigarettes did not influence their daily consumption. The prices and daily consumption of bidis (0.33-0.43 12-15) and cigarettes (2.9-3.6 5-9) varied across the four states. The daily consumption was higher (14) among bidi smokers than cigarette smokers (8). Bidis were much less expensive (0.39) than cigarettes (3.1). Regression model was used to assess the impact of price on daily consumption. Average unit price and daily consumption was calculated for different brands and states.
Information was collected from adult (aged ≥ 15) daily exclusive smokers of cigarette/bidi regarding (a) last purchase (purchase in pack/loose, brand and price) and (b) daily consumption. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in four states of India (Bihar, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra) as a part of the International Tobacco Control Policy (TCP) Evaluation Project (the TCP India Project) during 2010-2011. This study analyzes "unit price" and " daily consumption" of cigarettes and bidis and investigates their relation with each other. Increasing prices of these products is one of the measures to curb their consumption. In India, 14% of the population use smoked tobacco products.
