Discussion

Analysis reveals differential responses to excise hikes in smoking prevalence among educational groups, indicating socioeconomic implications.

Excise tax increases lower smoking prevalence more significantly among non-tertiary-educated individuals, suggesting economic sensitivity.
A 10% rise in cigarette price relative to income results in 2.2% fewer smokers in less-educated groups, reflecting a 0.61 pp reduction in purchases.
Forecasts show that a 21% tax hike will cut smoker count by 250,000 and reduce consumption by 8.4% by 2027.
Non-economic factors are more influential in reducing smoking among tertiary-educated populations, indicating complex behavioral dynamics.

Albinowski et al. (2025) studied this question.
