- 摘要：
Taxation of tobacco is a widely used strategy that promotes
smoking cessation among adults and reduces cigarette consumption
among continuing smokers. First Nations (FN) populations' tobacco
use is estimated to be 2-3 times that of other Canadians and, in part, a
reflection that tobacco products purchased on reserve by FN people are tax
exempt. The purpose of this paper is to present a commentary related to
the implementation and impact of a tobacco tax within an FN community.
