Abstract
This report is motivated by a desire to better understand the market for cigarettes in Ireland through the application of economic tools and analysis. A model that links consumption of cigarettes with a number of key economic determinants of smoking is assembled and tested econometrically. The model identifies the factors that determine cigarette consumption and tests the degree of influence of those factors. Time series analysis is used over the period 2002 to 2009.
