This chapter examines the impact of cigarette prices, taxes, and tobacco control policies on youth and young adult smoking propensity and intensity, in the U.S. during the years 1997-2001, a period characterized by significant changes in cigarette prices and tobacco control policies. Employing a fixed effects technique, we find a strong negative impact of cigarette prices and taxes on youth and young adult smoking prevalence and conditional demand. Moreover, we find purchase, use, and possession laws to be inversely related to youth and young adult smoking prevalence.
本章考察了1997 - 2001年期间美国香烟价格、税收和烟草控制政策对青少年和青年吸烟倾向及吸烟强度的影响，这一时期香烟价格和烟草控制政策发生了重大变化。运用固定效应技术，我们发现香烟价格和税收对青少年和青年吸烟率及条件性需求有强烈的负面影响。此外，我们发现购买、使用和持有法律与青少年和青年吸烟率呈负相关。
