长期以来，香烟税一直被用来帮助减少香烟消费。社会因素也影响香烟消费，但这种影响尚未被量化。我们根据个人对允许吸烟地点的回答计算了一个社会不可接受指数。回归分析表明，社会不可接受指数与价格具有相似的弹性，二者的影响是相互独立的。如果通过一场积极的烟草控制运动，普通个人对吸烟的社会不可接受性的看法变得更接近于加州居民的看法，那么香烟消费量将下降15%，相当于香烟消费税增加1.17美元。
Taxes on cigarettes have long been used to help reduce cigarette consumption. Social factors also affect cigarette consumption, but this impact has not been quantified. We computed a social unacceptability index based on individuals' responses to questions regarding locations where smoking should be allowed.A regression analysis showed that the social unacceptability index and price had similar elasticities and that their effects were independent of each other. If, through an active tobacco control campaign, the average individual's views on the social unacceptability of smoking changed to more closely resemble the views of California residents, there would be a 15% drop in cigarette consumption, equivalent to a $1.17 increase in the excise tax on cigarettes.
