    I would simply say no no no.. It can't. No matter how much you increase the cost. People who smoke ain't gonna stop, but it will inly introduce illegal brands on cheaper rates... That's my thought... may be it varies.. and lets hope it saves some life's..

    I sincerely hope a hike in the price will certainly reduce the frequency in smoking. This in turn contributes in lengthening the life span.

    A 50% price hike will definitely help to reduce the deaths in India. It will help the people who got addicted to smoking too.

    I too expect a price hike.

    I am a smoker and I don't think I won't get rid of this addiction with the price hike. Definitely people will reduce smoking but not to that extent. :blink:

    I think, it's better to increase hospital bills to avoid people from bad habits like smoking, drinking, bad food habits, less exercises and bad life style :cheer: :laugh: :laugh:

    Price hike will force the consumer to limit his consumption. This leads to the reduction of frequency of smoking. Reduction of frequency itself contributes to some extent in increasing the life span.

    how many times alcohol prices were hiked. Had it caused any impulse on the people? :laugh: :laugh:
    never!

    During first months, we may see a come down in cigarette selling. But gradually people will adjust the new situation.......it's the nature of common man to deny something first and later accept it with every faults :silly: :silly:
