dc.description.abstractThis paper examines the impact on health and financing outcomes of a large one-time cigarette price hike through an increase in excise tax. Results of calculations show with the price increase, about 1.5 million men would quit smoking across the four states, with the bottom income group having 7.4 times as many quitters as the top income group. The study examines the impact of tobacco tax increase across income groups at the subnational level in four Indian states: Kharnataka, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra.en
