Modeling the Impacts of Tobacco Tax Increases in Montenegro: A Simulation Model (2023)

The main objective of this research is to establish an evidence base for the impact of future tobacco excise tax increases on tobacco consumption, government revenues, smoking prevalence, and deaths averted due to price increases in Montenegro. The simulation analysis will allow policymakers to answer multiple “what if” questions, thus anticipating the various effects of different changes in tobacco taxes. The impacts are assessed in terms of increased government revenues, reduced tobacco consumption, and lives saved.
