- Dean Edell on KGO revealed some data about canadian tobacco consumption, where
- taxation raised the cost of cigarettes to about $3 a pack. The data show that
- prior to the tax increase, per capita consumption was equal to the U.S. In the
- few years since the taxation the consumption rate has dropped by 30%.
