by Rajeev K. Goel, Michael A. Nelson
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
Tobacco is reported to be the second major cause of death in the world and there is ever-increasing interest in the costs of smoking, especially in the light of evidence of the health effects of second-hand smoke.
This book brings together the findings of economists on the effectiveness of price and non-price policy initiatives to combat smoking and draws conclusions regarding the efficacy of the various policy measures.
The authors evaluate the relative effectiveness of price-based smoking control policies (i.e. tax) in relation to non-price strategies (including advertising restrictions, sales restrictions, territorial restrictions and health warnings).
They review evidence not only from the US but also from around the world, drawing important conclusions for developing countries where smoking is on the rise.
The book will be essential reading for policy makers, health practitioners and researchers in health economics.
