dc.description.abstractSmoking is responsible for a significant proportion of health spending in Latin America, and tax revenues from cigarette sales are far from covering smoking-attributable health care costs. Countries of the region should strongly consider an increase in tobacco taxes. This research study estimates financial burden in terms of direct medical costs that smoking represents for the health systems of Latin America, including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Mexico. Smoking-attributable costs ranged from 0.4% (Mexico and Peru) to 0.9% (Chile) of GDP and from 5.2% (Brazil) to 12.7% (Bolivia) of health expenditures.en
