Tax More Frightening

What they feared that smokers want to stop bad habits? Neither the threat of heart attack, nor the threat of impotence as it is usually listed on the packaging of cigarettes, but the taxes!

According to a report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and The British Medical Journal, raising cigarette taxes is the most effective measures to reduce the urge to buy cigarettes. Young people and the poor are most responsive to community groups to price changes.


Since the Government of the State of New York raised cigarette taxes to $ 10 per pack recently, the request for advice to stop smoking in a channel 311 provided the Government of New York City more than tripled.

Last June, for example, the channel received 2700 phone for advice to quit smoking, whereas in the same period the previous year there were only 850 phones.
