Is Smoking Delayed Smoking Averted? American Journal of Public Health 93,3 (March 2003): 412-416. Also: http://ajph.aphapublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/93/3/412 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Public Health Association Keyword(s): Cigarette Use (see Smoking); Health Factors; Smoking (see Cigarette Use); Taxes Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Antismoking efforts often target teenagers in the hope of producing a new generation of never smokers. Teenagers are more responsive to tobacco taxes than are adults. The author summarizes recent evidence suggesting that delaying smoking initiation among teenagers through higher taxes does not generate proportionate reductions in prevalence rates through adulthood. In consequence, the impact of taxes on smoking among youths overstates the potential long-term public health effects of this tobacco control strategy. |
