Abstract: This study is based on various sources but mainly on the Myanmar Study on Tobacco Economics 2001. Recent trends in the price of tobacco products show that the real prices of all tobacco produts have been declining. In order to effectively reduce tobacco consumption, real prices of tobacco products need to be increased through heavier taxation, and other proven tobacco control measures need to be strengthened.
