Résumé
Tobacco consumption in Uganda, while showing a decline, continues to pose a significant public health challenge. The findings of this study suggest that significant increases in excise tax could lead to substantial reductions in tobacco consumption, thereby alleviating the associated health burden. Regular and consistent tax increases, taking into account factors such as income and inflation, are recommended to effectively curb tobacco use.
