Despite high taxes, the price of tobacco products continues to be a "bargain" for smokers. This paper presents trends since 1950 in real tobacco price index, per capita real disposable income, smoking prevalence, and sales of cigarettes and fine-cut tobaccos. In addition, an "effective tobacco price index", which is the ratio of the real tobacco price index to per capita (age 15+) real disposable income, indexed to a base year (1950) is discussed. This index gives the price of tobacco products as a fraction of real disposable income. The data indicate that, in 1991, the "effective tobacco price" is only 78% of 1950 values.
尽管税收很高，但烟草产品的价格对吸烟者来说仍然是“便宜货”。本文呈现了自1950年以来实际烟草价格指数、人均实际可支配收入、吸烟率以及香烟和精细切割烟草销量的趋势。此外，还讨论了一个“有效烟草价格指数”，它是实际烟草价格指数与人均（15岁及以上）实际可支配收入的比率，并以基准年（1950年）为指数进行编制。该指数将烟草产品的价格表示为实际可支配收入的一部分。数据表明，1991年的“有效烟草价格”仅为1950年数值的78%。
