Abstract:
The case is primarily meant to examine the impact of taxation on a product with reference to tobacco. The case can be effectively used to discuss the shapes and shifts of the demand and supply curves and to explore the relationship between elasticity and revenue. The relative efficacy between the ban on public smoking and tax on tobacco is debated and many socio-economic, cultural and demographic factors are taken into consideration to get an insight into the consumer’s behaviour.

Pedagogical Objectives:

  • To understand the concept and types of price elasticity and the basis of share of tax burden between the buyer and the seller
  • To understand the link between price elasticity and sales revenue
