Abstract
Taxation has proved to be the single most effective tool in reducing tobacco consumption and smoking prevalence. The research aims to reduce tobacco use while increasing government revenue in Tanzania through an appropriate taxation policy; to use research results to convince policy makers to raise cigarette tax; and to create a toolkit for the collection and analysis of data, which can serve as a model for other countries in the region.
