The analysis does not include the data needed to estimate price elasticity, but the survey suggests clearly that higher cigarette taxes that raise real prices, and certain tobacco control policies can reduce cigarette demand among teenage students in Poland. 2013-06-05T15:42:13Z 2013-06-05T15:42:13Z 2004-09 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/09/5175554/poland-1999-global-youth-tobacco-survey-economic-aspects http://hdl.handle.net/10986/13777 English en_US HNP Discussion Paper; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Working Paper Publications & Research Europe and Central Asia Poland
