Tobacco companies use various strategies to protect their profits from increases in cigarette taxation. Our new study on taxation in Ukraine has found that similar tactics are used to ensure maximum profit from e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products. tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/earl...

"Lower tax rates on HTPs function as an industry subsidy rather than contributing to public health goals."
