  • Title: Effects of public policy on adolescents' cigar use: evidence from the National Youth Tobacco Survey.
    Author: Ringel JS, Wasserman J, Andreyeva T.
    Journal: Am J Public Health; 2005 Jun; 95(6):995-8. PubMed ID: 15914822.
    Abstract:
    To determine the effect of prices and regulations on youth cigar demand, we estimated logistic regression models of the probability of current cigar smoking among students in grades 6 to 12 with data from the 1999 and 2000 waves of the National Youth Tobacco Survey. We found that youth cigar demand is sensitive to price but not state tobacco-control regulations. The results suggested that raising excise taxes on cigars could reduce cigar use prevalence among youths.
