This study examines the economics of
tobacco production and demand in Egypt. It reviews previous
studies of demand for cigarettes in Egypt, consumption tends
in Egypt, in the context of regional trends, and the data on
tobacco-attributable diseases in Egypt. It describes the
structure and trends in cigarette production in Egypt, and
the level of imports and exports. Part 2 uses household
expenditure survey data from 1995/96 and 1999/2000 to look
at levels and trends in household expenditures on cigarettes
and other tobacco products, by income level, education,
rural/urban residence, works status and occupation. The same
data are used to analyze the demand for cigarettes and other
tobacco products in Egypt, estimating expenditure (income)
and price elasticities for the various population subgroups.
The results are comparable to similar empirical estimates
from other countries. The elasticities are used to simulate
the likely effect on consumption of a rise in the price of
cigarettes. The results of a survey of knowledge, attitudes
and behaviors with respect to tobacco use of 559 university
students are reported. Finally, Egypt's tobacco control
policies, activities and plans are described. |
