dc.description.abstractThe study evaluates the burden of disease associated with tobacco use in Argentina and predicts the health and economic impact of cigarette tax increases. The burden of disease model was developed as part of a collaboration among more than 40 investigators in seven Latin American countries. Results indicate that increasing cigarette taxes could yield major health and economic benefits. It is estimated that were Argentina to increase cigarette prices by 50% over the next 10 years 25, 557 deaths, 42,560 cardiovascular events, and 11,222 cancers could be prevented.en
