Input: According to the World Health Organization, tobacco use is a cause of death for more than 5.4 million people worldwide every year. But a new review published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that by tripling the taxes on tobacco globally, 200 million tobacco deaths could be avoided by 2025. 
  
 Authors of the review, including Dr. Prabhat Jha, director of the Center for Global Health Research of St. Michael's Hospital and the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto, say that the tax increase would double the retail price of tobacco in some countries, as well as reduce the price difference between the cheapest and most expensive cigarettes. 
  
 They add that rather than pushing smokers to swap to a cheaper cigarette brand, the strategy would encourage them to quit smoking and discourage young people from taking up the habit. 
  
 Dr. Jha says tripling tobacco taxes would be particularly effective in low- and middle-income countries, where smoking rates are on the rise and the price of tobacco is relatively low. 
  
 But he adds that high-income countries would also see benefits from the approach. He uses France as an example, noting that the country halved its cigarette consumption between 1990 and 2005 by increasing taxes to well above inflation. 
  
 Dr. Jha adds: 
  
 "Death and taxes are inevitable, but they don't need to be in that order. A higher tax on tobacco is the single most effective intervention to lower smoking rates and to deter future smokers." 
  
 Strategy 'would reduce tobacco use and increase revenue' 
  
 Dr. Jha points out that as well as reducing tobacco consumption, the approach would also create revenue that governments worldwide would be able to use for health care. 
  
 For example, he notes that there are around 200,000 tobacco-related deaths every year of people under the age of 70 in the US and Canada. 
  
 He estimates that even if the price of tobacco was doubled in these countries, around 70,000 deaths would be prevented and the higher taxes would generate an extra $100 billion every year for a total of $400 billion.

 Sir Richard Peto, co-author of the review from the University of Oxford in the UK, says there is an "urgent need" for governments to develop strategies that will help people to give up smoking and stop youngsters from starting in the first place. 
  
 The investigators note that at the 2013 United Nations General Assembly and the World Health Organization (WHO) Assembly, countries worldwide came to an agreement that they would aim to reduce smoking prevalence by around one-third by 2025, and reduce premature deaths from cancer and other diseases by 25%. 
  
 Sir Richard says that their approach would help countries to achieve these aims. 
  
 "This study demonstrates that tobacco taxes are a hugely powerful lever and potentially a triple win - reducing the numbers of people who smoke and who die from their addiction, reducing premature deaths from smoking and yet, at the same time, increasing government income," he says, adding: 
  
 "All governments can take action by regularly raising tobacco taxes above inflation, and using occasional steep tax hikes starting with their next budget. Young adult smokers will lose about a decade of life if they continue to smoke - they've so much to gain by stopping." 
  
 The authors say that controlling tobacco marketing is another strategy that may help people to stop smoking, noting that Australia introduced plain packaging in 2011 - an action that New Zealand plans to follow this year. 
  
 Medical News Today recently reported on a study suggesting that total smoking bans are effective in helping smokers to quit. 
  
 Written by Honor Whiteman ||||| Tripling tobacco taxes around the world could cut smoking by a third and prevent 200 million premature deaths by the end of this century, researchers claim. 
  
 The tax boost would encourage people to quit smoking rather than switch from more expensive to cheaper brands, and help to stop young people taking up the habit, say the scientists. 
  
 They came to the conclusion after conducting a systematic review of 63 studies on the causes and consequences of tobacco use in different countries. 
  
 Research has shown that a 50% higher inflation-adjusted price for cigarettes reduces tobacco consumption by about a fifth, with the biggest impact on the young and poor. 
  
 In most high-income countries, about 50% to 60% of the price of a pack of cigarettes is tax. But in most low and middle-income countries, tax makes up only 30% to 40% of the cost. 
  
 Study co-author Professor Sir Richard Peto, from the charity Cancer Research UK , said: “The two certainties in life are death and taxes. We want higher tobacco taxes and fewer tobacco deaths. 
  
 "It would help children not to start, and it would help many adults to stop while there’s still time. 
  
 “Globally, about half of all young men and one in 10 of all young women become smokers, and, particularly in developing countries, relatively few quit. 
  
 "If they keep smoking, about half will be killed by it, but if they stop before 40, they’ll reduce their risk of dying from tobacco by 90%.” 
  
 He added: “The international tobacco industry makes about £30 billion in profits each year - that’s a profit of approximately £6,000 per death from smoking.” 
  
 As well as cutting consumption by a third, tripling tobacco taxes would also increase global government revenues from tobacco by a third, from £180 billion a year to £240 billion, said the researchers. 
  
 In the European Union, a doubling of cigarette prices would prevent 100,000 deaths a year in the under 70s, they added. 
  
 The findings are reported in the latest issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. 
  
 Dr Harpal Kumar, chief executive of Cancer Research UK, said: “Worldwide, around half a billion children and adults under the age of 35 are already - or soon will be - smokers, and many will be hooked on tobacco for life. 
  
 "So there’s an urgent need for Governments to find ways to stop people starting and to help smokers give up. 
  
 “This immensely important study demonstrates that tobacco taxes are a hugely powerful lever, and potentially a triple win - reducing the numbers of people who smoke and who die from their addiction, reducing the health care burden and costs associated with smoking and yet, at the same time, increasing government income. 
  
 “We urge all governments, not least the UK Government, to take action by regularly raising tobacco taxes above inflation, and using occasional steep tax hikes starting with the next budget.” |||||
Output:
A new study finds that 200 million deaths could be avoided by the year 2025 if we triple the taxes placed on tobacco around the world, Medical News Today reports. In some countries, the increase would double the price; the difference in cost between the cheapest and most expensive brands would also be diminished, meaning smokers wouldn't be likely to simply switch brands, because doing so wouldn't save them much money, says the World Health Organization. In addition, the study notes, the higher cost of cigarettes would likely discourage young people from smoking. Extra revenue generated by the tax hike—the authors estimate $100 billion a year—could be spent on health care, the authors say. Though the strategy would be most effective in low- and middle-income countries, the authors say high-income countries would also see a decrease in consumption. Right now, taxes make up 30% to 40% of tobacco's cost in lower-income countries, the Mirror explains, while in higher-income countries, that number is between 50% and 60%.
