Abstract

Excise duty on tobacco products is a significant policy tool used to reduce tobacco consumption and its associated health and economic burden on society. This study analyses the implications of increasing excise duty on tobacco products on the Ghanaian Economy. Increasing excise duty leads to higher prices for tobacco products, which can reduce consumption, hence improving public health outcomes and increasing productivity. The government can generate additional revenue from higher excise duties, which can be allocated to healthcare services and public welfare programs.
