Tobacco Control in Developing Countries
Author: Prabhat Jha
"This book brings together a set of critical reviews of current knowledge on the economics to tobacco control. It is intended to provide a comprehensive evidence-base for the design of effective policies in any country, with an emphasis on the needs of developing countries."--BOOK JACKET.
New England Journal Of Medicine
The book provides an economic framework that adds a much-needed perspective to the wealth of epidemiologic data on the health consequences of tobacco use. Citing a plethora of studies, the authors examine whether interventions in tobacco control that are based on economic models have a meaningful role in curbing the tobacco epidemic in developing countries. They address these complex issues elegantly and admirably and conclude that price controls, improvements in health information programs for specific subgroups of the population, and regulation of the advertisement and promotion of tobacco products can all have desirable effects over time. Quite a few myths are dispelled along the way, and global tobacco manufacturers will not find evidence in this book to support their claims that tobacco-related policies cause massive unemployment and catastrophic losses of tax revenues within local economies.
