The Economics and Marketing of Tobacco an Overview of the Existing Published Evidence. ESRI Policy Series No. 46. September 2002

In this report we examine a wide range of literature published in Ireland on the economics and marketing of tobacco and assess the evidence that this presents on a range of issues. In doing so we aim to provide an overview of current research and conclusions reached as well as identifying gaps in research that require attention. Throughout the report we have endeavoured to examine and assess a wide range of sources from academic literature and government reports to so called “grey sources” such as newspapers, trade magazines and professional journals
