Abstract

This paper reports the first stage of a joint research project which seeks to explore the relationship between the level of retail distribution and cigarette smoking. Whilst conventional wisdom would suggest that “supply follows demand”, there is evidence from studies on alcohol and fast food, as well as tobacco, that increases in supply, via retail distribution, lead to increased consumption. Whilst consumers will shop from multiple outlets and will switch between outlets, these findings suggest that restricting supply may limit the aggregate level of smoking, the adoption of smoking by the young and/or recidivism among “tobacco quitters”. The paper also outlines a proposal for empirical testing of this relationship.
