However, cigarette, like the other addictive goods, is viewed as that it is not sensitive to demand rules and the market forces. This study analyses the effect of price increase on cigarette consumption. We used Swedish time series data from 1970 to 2010. Our results reveal that though cigarette is addictive substance its demand is sensitive to changes in the price. Estimates from this study indicate short-run price-elasticity of -0.29 and the long run price elasticity of -0.47. Price elasticity Cigarette demand Tobacco Sweden Rational addiction Myopic addiction

Then the rest of the thesis describes excise tax payment mechanism and analyzes excise duty incomes. The thesis finds that cigarettes are more affordable these days than in the beginning of 90's. Czech smokers do not fully realize future impact of their behavior and they seem to be very inelastic witch respect to price. The price elasticity was estimated on value -0.2. Given low price elassticitty and increasing purchasing power, the current cigarette excise tax is considered to be too low.

Previous studies have demonstrated that smokers with a desire to quit have a demand for external cessation controls, however, there is limited research into how those same smokers demand individual disutility decreasing supports like nicotine replacement or counseling. We find that high addiction and consumption levels increase the demand for nicotine replacement or other medication. We also find support linking naïf hyperbolic discounters to lower demand for external cessation supports like smoking bans or cigarette taxes. 理性上癮時間不一致雙曲線貼現異質性吸煙稅預先承諾自我控制自我意識捲菸消費 rational addiction time-inconsistent hyperbolic discounting heterogeneity smoking taxes pre-commitment self-control self-awareness cigarette consumption
