J59c"Now, for the first time, the economic aspects of tobacco control are assessed in a single concise report that reviews international experience. The report concludes that raising taxes on tobacco could save millions of lives while raising government revenues in the medium term, and that other, non-price measures, such as comprehensive bans on cigarette advertising and promotion, could also significantly reduce smoking. The analysis examines the effects of tobacco control policies on employment, and finds that most countries would not suffer permanent job losses."--BOOK JACKET.
