*Average real household expanditure on cigarettes is given conditional on having positive expenditure on cigarettes. Values were calculated for cigarette packs consumed per month per household. Variables deflated by CPI to 2010 values.
†The average real price was approximated by an average ratio of the reported household expenditure of cigarettes and purchase quantity, that is, average unit value. Households that report spending on other tobacco products were excluded as they had a negligible share—only 3.59%.
