RAISING TOBACCO TAX IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE MEASURE TO REDUCE TOBACCO UPTAKES
Research conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that raising tobacco tax is one of the most effective measures to reduce tobacco prevalence, thereby repelling the burden of tobacco-related diseases.
In particular, a tax increase of 5,000 VND/cigarette pack could reduce up to 1.8 million smokers, saving nearly 1 million people whose lives are threatened by tobacco smokes.
An increase of
5000
vnd / pack of cigarette
could reduce up to
1800000
people who smoke
