A Proposal for Systematic Review of the Effect of Tobacco Tax on Cigarette Consumption and England Economy

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: A, University of Nairobi, language: English, abstract: Tobacco tax is one of the measures that governments around the world implement in an attempt to curb the use of tobacco products in the country. Multiple studies have suggested that tobacco tax could have considerable impact on consumption and revenue. In this regard, the researcher proposes a structured literature review protocol to explore this study goal. The protocol encompasses a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed sources on the topic. For instance, some studies suggested that tobacco tax leads to an increase in prices of the commodity, thus could deter people from consuming it. Apart from acting as a deterrent to cigarette consumption, it is also an important source of revenue for the government. In a nutshell, the systematic literature review will allow the researcher to compare and contrast multiple sources on tobacco tax and its impact and develop appropriate conclusions. The proposal also highlights the process of literature search and the inclusion criteria in the study.
