Using the 2009–10 Papua New Guinea Household Income and Expenditure Survey, the paper analyzes the determinants of tobacco use and tobacco choices in Papua New Guinea. The results show that adults (18 years and above) in the poorest quartile are more likely to smoke. Tobacco consumption imposes a large financial burden to poor households. Tobacco consumption accounts for about 23 percent of total household food expenditure for households in the poorest quartile, compared with 15 percent for the entire sample. However, most of these households consume non-processed tobacco. The study reveals the urgency to control tobacco consumption in Papua New Guinea and considers some practical challenges that the country may face.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGORISKSMALE SMOKERSPROMINENT TAX STAMPSSECOND HAND SMOKETOBACCO-RELATED DISEASEPRICE INCREASESSMOKING PREVALENCETOBACCO USEPERMANENT JOB LOSSESPUBLIC PLACESCIGARSPREVENTIONNICOTINEHEALTH CARETOBACCO PRICESHEALTHPRICE OF CIGARETTESCURRENT SMOKINGPASSIVE TOBACCO SMOKESMOKERSCESSATION INTERVENTIONSCIGARETTE TAX REVENUESTOBACCO COMPANIESTOBACCO PRODUCTIONPUBLIC HEALTHHOSPITALIZATIONTOBACCO SMOKE EXPOSURESMOKING RATESBEHAVIORDIABETESTOBACCO TAXESEXCISE DUTIESCURBING TOBACCO CONSUMPTIONNON-PRICE MEASURESTOBACCO TAX INCREASESTRADE RESTRICTIONSINTERVENTIONSMOKINGSUPPLY-SIDE MEASUREREDUCING TOBACCO CONSUMPTIONAGGRESSIVECONSUMPTION CHOICESCIGARETTE CONSUMPTIONCOMPREHENSIVE TOBACCO CONTROL POLICIESHAND-ROLLED CIGARETTESOBSERVATIONMARKETINGMANUFACTURED CIGARETTESCURRENT SMOKERSSMOKING TOBACCOSMOKING BEHAVIORSANTI-SMOKING MESSAGESMARIJUANAGLOBAL TOBACCO USETOBACCO CONTROLSCARDIOVASCULAR DISEASEADDICTIVE NATURETOBACCO FARMINGRESPIRATORY DISEASETOBACCOLOCAL-LANGUAGE WARNINGSCIGARETTE TAXSMOKING PATTERNSADVERTISING BANSLIFETIME HEALTHCARE COSTSTOBACCO ADVERTISINGCIGARETTE TAXESOLDER PEOPLEECONOMIC COSTSYOUNG ADULTSTOBACCO SUPPLYNICOTINE REPLACEMENT THERAPYSURVEILLANCETOBACCO SMOKEHEALTH POLICYGLOBAL TOBACCO EPIDEMICHEALTH EFFECTSTOBACCO CONTROL MEASURESHEALTH OUTCOMESTOBACCO CONTROL POLICIESSOCIETAL VALUESTOBACCO CONSUMPTIONCROP SUBSTITUTIONTOBACCO PRODUCTSNUTRITIONTOBACCO SMOKINGSMOKE EXPOSUREADOLESCENTSCIGARETTE PACKSEX-SMOKERSTOBACCO FARMERSCIGARETTEWEIGHTECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESPREGNANT WOMENCHILDRENNICOTINE REPLACEMENTCURRENT SMOKING PATTERNSTOBACCO-RELATED DISEASESENVIRONMENTAL TOBACCO SMOKELOW BIRTH WEIGHTTOBACCO ADDICTIONISOLATIONADDICTIONTOBACCO CONTROLSMOKING IN PUBLICHEART DISEASENET JOB LOSSESHEALTH WARNINGSHAND SMOKESTRATEGYEPIDEMIOLOGYFAMILIESTOBACCO EPIDEMICTOBACCO USAGECOMPREHENSIVE TOBACCO CONTROLCIGARETTESTAX STAMPSIMPLEMENTATIONTOBACCO TAXWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-7302
