Abstract

The Philippine government should continue the increase in excise tax on cigarettes and tobacco products to sustain the impact of the Sin Tax Reform Law (2012) in lowering tobacco consumption in the country. This Policy Brief explains why the policy measure is significant and offers recommendations where the government can further intensify the impact of the tax policy reform.
