Higher cigarette pricing encourages older smokers to quit

Lara C. Pullen
Cigarette price increases are associated with a reduction in smoking rates in smokers aged 65 years and older. Although cigarette price increases have been shown to discourage smoking in younger individuals, to the authors' knowledge this is the first study that demonstrates the effect in older smokers. Cigarette price increases now join the enforcement of smoke-free laws as an important public health tool to limit smoking.
