Abstract
The low cost of tobacco products in Vietnam contributes to high levels of smoking among males. In addition, individual income has increased and real prices for tobacco products have declined slightly, making tobacco
products more affordable. The most effective way to reduce tobacco use in Vietnam is to raise tobacco prices
through tax increases.
