dc.description.abstractSouth American countries, and Chile in particular, endure some of the highest cigarette smoking prevalence rates globally. Despite the lack of any meaningful increases in cigarette taxes (the most effective tobacco control measure), between 1999 and 2014 cigarette prices in Chile increased sharply almost entirely driven by British American Tobacco (BAT). Findings suggest that higher prices initiated by BAT and the tobacco control policies enacted by the Ministry of Health (2006) were associated with lower hazards of starting smoking in Chilean youth. A large cigarette tax increase can be used strategically to reduce smoking among youth in Chile.en
