Understanding drivers and deterrents of Australia's illicit tobacco market

随着澳大利亚实施减少烟草供应和价格的政策，对非法烟草的需求可能会增加。这项研究旨在通过三个相互关联的项目，产生关于非法烟草需求的驱动因素和威慑因素的新知识。预期成果包括全面了解影响澳大利亚人对非法烟草需求的因素，以及为减少对非法烟草的需求和阻止使用非法烟草提出专家知情的政策建议。由于澳大利亚15年多来没有对这一问题进行实质性研究，这项研究对于减少非法烟草市场的影响至关重要，包括税收的大量损失和有组织犯罪的资金来源。

As Australia implements policies that reduce the availability and affordability of tobacco, demand for illicit tobacco is likely to grow. This research aims to generate new knowledge about the drivers and deterrents of demand for illicit tobacco through three inter-related projects. Expected outcomes include a comprehensive understanding of factors influencing Australians’ demand for illicit tobacco, and expert-informed policy recommendations to reduce demand for and deter use of illicit tobacco. With no substantive Australian research on this topic for more than 15 years, this research will be essential to reduce the impacts of the illicit tobacco market, including substantial losses in tax revenue and the funding of organised crime.
