Resumen
Descripción
As a country with one of the highest
male smoking rates and one of the lowest cigarette prices in
the world, Korea has prioritized many tobacco control
efforts, including bans on smoking in public places,
regulations on tobacco advertising, and public education
about the harms of tobacco use. Consistent implementation of
tobacco control policies has helped to magnify the
importance of using tobacco tax rises as the basis of
tobacco price policy – though these reforms took a long time
to implement.
