The Effect of Cigarette Prices on Youth Smoking

between tobacco producing and non-producing states. As of December 31, 1999, state excise taxes ranged from 2.5 cents a pack in the state of Virginia to $ 1 a pack in Hawaii and Alaska [7]. The tax differences on state and municipal levels create incentives for smokers to “shop around” and look for lower cigarette prices in other localities.
