The first comprehensive assessment of the costs of tobacco in Asia
Why is this topic important?
- Smoking tobacco affects the health of the smoker and those around the smoker
- This effect on health creates costs which are shared by several groups
- Knowing the extent of these costs and who pays for them is essential information for policy decision-making
