BACKGROUND
Smokers may react to cigarette excise tax increases by engaging in price-minimization strategies (i.e., finding ways to reduce the cost of cigarette smoking) rather than by quitting or reducing their cigarette use, thereby reducing the public health benefits of such tax increases.
PURPOSE
To evaluate the state and national prevalence of five common cigarette price-minimization strategies and the size of price reductions obtained from these strategies.
METHODS
Using data from the 2009-2010 National Adult Tobacco Survey, the prevalence of five common price-minimization strategies by type of strategy and by smoker's cigarette consumption level were estimated. The price reductions associated with these price-minimization strategies also were evaluated. Analyses took place in November 2012.
RESULTS
Approximately 55.4% of U.S. adult smokers used at least one of five price-minimization strategies in the previous year, with an average reduction of $1.27 per pack (22.0%). Results varied widely by state.
CONCLUSIONS
Cigarette price-minimization strategies are practiced widely among current smokers, and resulting price reductions are relatively large. Policies that decrease opportunities to effectively apply cigarette price-minimization strategies would increase the public health gains of cigarette excise tax increases.
背景
吸烟者可能会通过采取价格最小化策略（即寻找降低吸烟成本的方法）来应对香烟消费税的增加，而不是戒烟或减少吸烟量，从而降低这种税收增加带来的公共卫生效益。
目的
评估五种常见香烟价格最小化策略的州和全国流行率，以及从这些策略中获得的价格降低幅度。
方法
使用 2009-2010 年全国成人烟草调查的数据，估计了每种策略和吸烟者吸烟消费水平下五种常见价格最小化策略的流行率。还评估了这些价格最小化策略相关的价格降低幅度。分析于 2012 年 11 月进行。
结果
大约 55.4%的美国成年吸烟者在过去一年中至少使用了五种价格最小化策略中的一种，平均每包（22.0%）降低 1.27 美元。结果因州而异。
结论
当前吸烟者广泛采用香烟价格最小化策略，并且由此产生的价格降低幅度相对较大。减少有效应用香烟价格最小化策略机会的政策将增加香烟消费税增加带来的公共卫生收益。
