Poor smokers

(Disponible en anglais seulement.)

Examines the effect of increasing tobacco excise taxes. The focus of the book is on the problem that occurs because people in lower income situations are the ones who are affected most strongly. The study addresses a major dilemma in smoking control: the ways in which tobacco taxation may increase poverty amongst low income families.

Comment: This same dilemma is also applicable to people who smoke in Canada. A discussion worth having in the tobacco control community.
