Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

1). Price elasticity demand for cigarettes = 0.80

Government want to decrease smoking = 20% = 0.20

Require increase price rate = 0.20 ÷ 0.80 = 0.25 = 25%

Government Should Increase the Price by

= Current Cost of Cigarettes Pack × Require Increase Price Rate + Current Cost of Cigarettes Pack

= $5 × 25% + $5

= $1.25 + $5

= $6.25 a pack

2). If the government constantly increases the price of cigarettes, the impact on smoking will be higher in 1 year from now than in 3 months from now. It takes time to break a Smoking habit. And it takes people a long time to get out or reduce their smoking addiction.

3). According to the study, adolescents have a higher demand price elasticity than adults because adolescents have less income than adults, and they are more sensitive to price. If the price of cigarettes rises teenagers don't have enough funds to invest in their smoking habits because of their low savings and wages. Cigarette addiction in adults is more than youth addictions. And the demand for cigarettes among adults is difficult to reduce.
