Title: Regulatory tobacco tax framework
Description: The book describes how tobacco affects human health, being a public health problem that affects almost all countries of the world (the estimates are it that tobacco use will kill 1 Billion people in the XXI century). As a solution it proposes that taxation is the most efficient public policy tool because it decreases the smoking rates and raise revenues for the public health system (which is mostly affected by tabagism). Finally the book proposes a "tobacco tax framework" which is a set of taxation strategies encompassing all types of taxes aiming to tackle the problem.
