What the Sin Tax Law has already achieved

1. Prevalence of smoking among adult Filipinos went down from 31.0% in 2008 to 25.4% in 2013.

2. There are 3.2 million less smokers in the country because of the Sin Tax Law.

3. The drop is partly from people who stopped smoking. It is mostly from people who avoid starting to smoke.

4. Approximately 32,000 deaths were averted.

5. Health benefits were greatest in price sensitive populations – the poor, rural folk, the very old, and the very young.
