To evaluate the impact of the United States Tobacco Price Support Program (TPSP) on domestic cigarette consumption and the potential political impact of the TPSP on efforts to reduce smoking.
Published studies known to the authors and a search of AGRICOLA from 1980 to 1996.
Studies published in a refereed journal or research reports published by an accredited university or institution.
The TPSP decreases cigarette use by increasing the price of cigarettes. The price increase resulting from the TPSP, however, is small--about one cent per pack. The resulting decrease in cigarette consumption is also very modest--an estimated 0.23%. However, the TPSP creates tobacco quota owners, who have a strong financial interest in opposing measures to reduce smoking. The TPSP also changes the political influence of tobacco farmers by keeping a large number of small farmers in tobacco production.
The negative impact of the TPSP (opposition to tobacco control measures) is probably greater than the positive impact of the programme (reducing smoking). Therefore, the net impact of the TPSP on tobacco control efforts is likely to be negative.
评估美国烟草价格支持计划（TPSP）对国内卷烟消费的影响以及该计划对减少吸烟努力的潜在政治影响。
作者已知的已发表研究以及对1980年至1996年农业联机存取数据库（AGRICOLA）的检索。
发表在同行评审期刊上的研究或由认可大学或机构发表的研究报告。
TPSP通过提高卷烟价格来减少卷烟使用量。然而，TPSP导致的价格上涨幅度很小——每包约1美分。由此导致的卷烟消费量下降也非常有限——估计为0.23%。然而，TPSP造就了烟草配额所有者，他们在反对减少吸烟的措施方面有着强烈的经济利益。TPSP还通过使大量小农户继续从事烟草生产而改变了烟农的政治影响力。
TPSP的负面影响（反对烟草控制措施）可能大于该计划的正面影响（减少吸烟）。因此，TPSP对烟草控制努力的净影响可能是负面的。
