Impact of Cigarette Prices and Tobacco Control Policies on Smoking Initiation among Adolescents: Evidence from North Macedonia (2023)
In North Macedonia, almost half of the adult population currently uses tobacco products which places the country among the top 10 countries in the world for tobacco use. The increase of smoking rates among teenagers is also concerning given that around 12.4 percent of students used tobacco products in 2016. Since smoking onset among youth is a significant public health concern, empirical evidence on the determinants that explain smoking initiation is very important. The objective of this study is to provide more understanding on this issue—particularly around the effect of price—and, in that way, to provide valuable recommendations for policy makers.
