Impact of Cigarette Prices on Cigarette Sales and Consumption in Malaysia
Because of the threat that cigarette smoking poses to global public health, Malaysia signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) in 2003, ratified the treaty and also became an official party to the convention in 2005. Since then, the Malaysian government has implemented various tobacco control policies to fight the use of tobacco, campaigns to control cigarette consumption and reduce smokers in the Malaysian population. This study aims to analyze the impact of cigarette pricing on the market in Malaysia using econometric techniques.
