| | | Title | Leveraging Excise Tax for Tobacco Control: A Strategy for Reducing Consumption and Improving Public Health in Uganda | | Author | ACBF | | Date of Publication | 2023 | | Publisher | ACBF | | Abstract | Tobacco consumption in Uganda, while showing a decline, continues to pose a significant public health challenge.

Regular and consistent tax increases, taking into account factors such as income and inflation, are recommended to effectively curb tobacco use. | | Filesize | 1141639 MB | | File Format | PDF | | [ View / download original document ] |
