To determine the effect of prices and regulations on youth cigar demand, we estimated logistic regression models of the probability of current cigar smoking among students in grades 6 to 12 with data from the 1999 and 2000 waves of the National Youth Tobacco Survey. We found that youth cigar demand is sensitive to price but not state tobacco-control regulations. The results suggested that raising excise taxes on cigars could reduce cigar use prevalence among youths.
为了确定价格和法规对青少年雪茄需求的影响，我们利用1999年和2000年两轮全国青少年烟草调查的数据，对6至12年级学生当前吸食雪茄的概率进行了逻辑回归模型估计。我们发现，青少年雪茄需求对价格敏感，但对州烟草控制法规不敏感。结果表明，提高雪茄消费税可能会降低青少年中雪茄的使用流行率。
