目的：方法：对60个城市居民的卷烟购买能力进行调查，将卷烟购买能力定义为每包卷烟的价格与居民日收入的比值（卷烟价格-日收入比）。每日收入数据的平均值计算的七个职业的最低日工资，在2006年瑞士联合银行的调查所列;香烟价格在2006年来自经济学人智库unity.Results：香烟的负担能力在大多数被调查的城市仍然很高。高收入经济体的城市往往有较高的香烟负担能力。西欧、南美和北美的大多数城市的香烟价格都很高，而东欧66.7%的城市的香烟价格中等。在亚洲，除菲律宾外，所有香烟价格较高的城市都属于中上收入至高收入经济体。在非洲，约翰内斯堡和内罗毕有高和中等水平的香烟负担能力，分别。结论：香烟负担能力的大部分抽样城市，特别是那些在高收入经济体，是高的。通过增加税收来提高卷烟价格是有空间的。新兴经济体卷烟价格的上涨有可能落后于正在经历的高速经济增长。增税应列为高度优先事项。
Objective: To investigate cigarette affordability in 60 cities.Methods: Affordability of cigarettes is defined as the ratio of the price of one pack of cigarettes to daily income (cigarette price-daily income ratio: CPDIR). Daily income data were calculated using the mean of the seven occupations with the lowest daily wage, as listed in the 2006 Union Bank of Switzerland survey; cigarette prices in 2006 were sourced from the Economist Intelligence Unit.Results: Cigarette affordability in most of the surveyed cities remains high. There is a tendency for cities with high income economies to have a high level of cigarette affordability. Most of the cities in Western Europe and South and North America have high cigarette affordability, whereas 66.7% of their counterparts in Eastern Europe have medium cigarette affordability. In Asia, all cities with high cigarette affordability belong to the group of upper middle to high income economies, except for the Philippines. In Africa, Johannesburg and Nairobi have high and medium levels of cigarette affordability, respectively.Conclusion: Cigarette affordability for most of the sampled cities, especially those in high income economies, is high. There is room for increasing cigarette prices via tax increases. There is a risk that the increase in cigarette prices in newly emerging economies lags behind the high speed of economic growth being experiencing. Tax increases should be given high priority.
