Understanding drivers and deterrents of Australia's illicit tobacco market

随着澳大利亚实施减少烟草可获得性和可负担性的政策，对非法烟草的需求可能会增长。这项研究的目的是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，以及在专家知情的情况下提出政策建议，以减少对非法烟草的需求并阻止其使用。由于澳大利亚已有15年多没有关于这一专题的实质性研究，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对有组织犯罪的资助。

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.
