Economics of tobacco control : overview
Abstract
This overview looks at the selection process for country and regional studies in the global south towards a program of research regarding tobacco usage and effective tobacco control measures. More and better local evidence could demonstrate the impact of higher taxation on health outcomes and poverty. Owing to the limited capacity of some low-income countries to implement complex tax reform in line with regional directives, further country-specific diagnostics are necessary to identify room for change.
