Question

A 10% increase in cigarette prices has been found to result in a _____ decrease of smokers.

Answer 1

Answer:

4%

Explanation:

A 10% price gain in tobacco products has lowered the number of smokers by 4%. Some people still buy them because they are so addicted, some people might even use their last bit of money just to buy them and it truly is a terrible thing I believe some people who smoke end up poor because of their addiction. Smoking and vaping are the same thing so those who vape are in just as much danger to get cancer in any area mainly the throat and lung and heart as a regular smoker so if you vape STOP unless you wanna die at an early age and lose all of your hair or have to stick a tube in your throat to talk. This is a serious thing, stop trying to be like everyone else be your own you don't be the world's version of you. Killing yourself isn't cool.        

Answer 2

The correct answer should be around 4%. This implies that eventually if the prices skyrocketed there would be no smokers at all but that is wrong because the tobacco industry that has billions of dollars at steak would fail. The Tobacco companies pay millions of dollars of taxes so there is really no fear that the countries will keep supporting even though they might pretend to not support it.
