According to findings, an increase in real prices of 58.6% and the introduction of Law 20105 were linked to comparable lower hazards of starting smoking. By contrast, inflation-adjusted cigarette prices rose by 206% between 1999 and 2017. Investigators found that both higher prices and the nonprice tobacco control policies were linked to lower hazards of starting smoking in this study of data from a total of 181,624 survey respondents in 8,751 Chilean secondary schools.
