Price, policy and consumption of tobacco: The Finnish experience

Author

  • Pekurinen, Markku
  • Valtonen, Hannu

Abstract

This paper demonstrates that while price policy provides a powerful tool for deterring tobacco consumption, the objectives of general economic policy may hamper its effective usage. It is shown that even comprehensive legislative and administrative actions may be ineffective unless they are supported by price measures.
