TOBACCO CONTROL SIN TAX TAXATION HEALTH DISEASE CONTROL MICROSIMULATION This report uses selected scenarios for increasing excise taxes on tobacco products in Trinidad and Tobago, with the aim of reducing smoking prevalence across the population. These scenarios provide inputs for modeling the long-term health and cost benefits to the population of proposed excise tax increases. The report provides evidence from the modeling exercise. Impacts are calculated relative to the status quo before the tax hike and are modeled beginning in 2017 for 2025 and 2035.
