Tobacco Economics 360°: Science, Strategy, and Social Impact

The 10th edition of the Conference will be co-organized with the Institute of Economic Sciences in Belgrade.

Understanding the economic dimensions of tobacco control is essential for developing effective public health policies. Tobacco use imposes a significant financial burden on healthcare systems, reduces productivity, and fuels social inequalities. Participating in this conference offers a unique opportunity to engage with experts, policymakers, and researchers to explore strategies for reducing tobacco-related costs, analyze fiscal policies such as taxation, and address the growing challenges of nicotine products and illicit trade.


Tobacco Economics is a specialized field that analyzes the financial aspects of tobacco production, consumption, and control policies. It examines the economic burden of tobacco use, including healthcare costs, productivity losses, and social expenses, as well as the impact of taxation, pricing policies, and regulation on reducing tobacco use.

Key areas include:

  • Health economics: Evaluating the costs of tobacco-related diseases to healthcare systems and societies.
  • Fiscal policies: Studying how taxes, price increases, and subsidies affect tobacco consumption and government revenues.
  • Illicit trade analysis: Assessing the economic implications of smuggling and counterfeit tobacco products.
  • Behavioral economics: Understanding how consumers respond to policy changes like advertising bans, plain packaging, or smoking bans.
  • Equity and social impact: Considering how tobacco control policies affect different population groups, especially vulnerable communities.

The first Draft Agenda can be found here.

This unique opportunity provides evidence for policymakers to design strategies that reduce tobacco use while optimizing public health and economic outcomes. The 10th ECTC Special Edition event will also provide valuable insights into the latest EU regulatory proposals and their potential impact on public health and national economies.
