Footnotes

  • The authors of this contribution declined to nominate the “world's best” tobacco taxing nation, arguing that: there is no consensus about a minimum desirable level of proportional taxes; no country is increasing taxes, regularly, in line with increases in disposable income; and no country is investing sufficiently in price revenue protection. While the UK currently has the highest tax rates, smuggled products are widely available, making licit tobacco prices pretty much irrelevant.—ED
