World No Tobacco Day serves to increase awareness about the preventable death and illness associated with tobacco use. It also puts a spotlight on policies that governments can use to reduce consumption of tobacco products.
It's not always easy to distinguish between these two effects. But the Global Youth Tobacco Survey collects individual-level data on cigarette smoking behaviour among its respondents. This makes it possible to show the impact of price increases on the decision of whether to smoke and, separately, how much to smoke.
In our study, we estimated that more than half of the reduction in overall cigarette consumption following a price increase was due to young people quitting altogether. This is good news for public health in those countries that increase tobacco taxes. Studies clearly indicate that a person who smokes will realise much greater health benefits if they, our own research also showed that a young person was more likely to smoke if they had a parent who smoked.
