| description |
Currently there are approximately 4
million tobacco related deaths annually. If present trends
continue, by the year 2030 the number of deaths will soar to
about 10 million annual deaths, with 7 million in low-income
countries. However, government action to establish various
tobacco control initiatives can prevent this from happening
and save a significant number of lives. Tobacco control
measures include: i) raising tobacco prices by imposing
higher excise taxes; ii) advertising and marketing bans and
restrictions; and iii) clean indoor air provisions. A
popular and valid concern holds that raising tobacco excise
taxes for the purposes of tobacco control imposes an
untenable and unfair burden on the poor. In short, it is
argued that higher tobacco excise taxes increase inequality
in the post-tax distribution of income and reduces the real
incomes of a particularly vulnerable group, the poor. This
tool discusses a number of approaches in which to examine
the validity of this argument. Techniques to analyze the
impact of tobacco consumption and tobacco taxes on the poor
are explained. And analytical methods using country-specific
data are examined so that policy analysts can effectively
address concerns about the poor, tobacco consumption, and
tobacco control policies. |
