In order effectively to reduce tobacco consumption, real prices of tobacco products need to be increased through heavier taxation, and other proven tobacco control measures need to be strengthened. 2013-05-29T17:19:56Z 2013-05-29T17:19:56Z 2003-10 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2003/10/3548728/tobacco-economics-myanmar http://hdl.handle.net/10986/13633 English en_US HNP discussion paper; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Working Paper Publications & Research East Asia and Pacific Myanmar
