By raising the price of cigarettes through tobacco taxes, policymakers might only be delaying some smokers' initiation of smoking rather than permanently preventing them from smoking. This is one of several reasons for adopting a balanced tobacco control policy that relies only in part on cigarette taxation.
通过烟草税提高香烟价格,政策制定者可能只是推迟了一些吸烟者开始吸烟的时间,而不是永久性地阻止他们吸烟。这是采取仅部分依赖香烟征税的平衡烟草控制政策的几个原因之一。
