The extensive literature on smoking behaviour
has focused on numerous aspects such as
the factors that influence the decision
to start smoking and, for smokers, what
factors influence consumption and decisions
to quit. This study focuses on the determinants
of the typical daily volume of cigarette
consumption. In particular the impact of
cigarette pack sizes on the typical daily
consumption of smokers is investigated.
Results are presented from a statistical
model which allows for 'pack-effects' in
daily consumption levels.
