Objective:
To estimate the price elasticity of cigarette demand for university students aged 18-24 years in Jordan.
Methods:
Questions from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey were adapted and administered to students from 10 public universities in Jordan in 2014. A two-part econometric model of cigarette demand was estimated.
Results:
Nearly one-third of university students in Jordan smoke, purchasing 33.2 packs per month and paying 1.70 Jordanian dinars on average (US$2.40) for a pack of 20 cigarettes. The price elasticity of cigarette demand was estimated to be -1.15.
Conclusions:
Higher taxes may be particularly effective in reducing smoking among University students in Jordan.
