Differential Responsiveness to Cigarette Prices by U.S. Adults Who Do and Do Not Use Cannabis

Both cannabis-using and non-cannabis-using smokers are significantly responsive to cigarette prices, with higher prices associated with in lower levels of smoking initiation and smoking intensity as well as a higher quit rate. However, the cannabis-using smokers are significantly more price-responsive than non-cannabis-using smokers. These results suggest that increasing cigarette prices, such as through taxation, is effective in reducing cigarette smoking among U.S. adults, especially those who currently use cannabis.
