Title
Taxes, Cigarette Consumption, and Smoking Intensity: Reply
Abstract
This paper shows that smoking intensity, i.e. the amount of nicotine extracted percigarette smoked, responds to changes in excise taxes and tobacco prices. We exploitNHANES data covering the period 1988 to 2006 across many US states. Moreover, usingpanel data from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA)study, we provide new evidence on the importance of cotinine measures in explaininglong-run smoking behavior. We show the importance of smoking intensity as a long-rundeterminant of smoking cessation. We also investigate the sensitivity of smokingcessation to changes in excise taxes and their interaction with smoking intensity.
