I would simply say no no no.. It can't. No matter how much you increase the cost. People who smoke ain't gonna stop, but it will inly introduce illegal brands on cheaper rates... That's my thought... may be it varies.. and lets hope it saves some life's..

I sincerely hope a hike in the price will certainly reduce the frequency in smoking. This in turn contributes in lengthening the life span.

I am a smoker and I don't think I won't get rid of this addiction with the price hike. Definitely people will reduce smoking but not to that extent. :blink:

Price hike will force the consumer to limit his consumption. This leads to the reduction of frequency of smoking. Reduction of frequency itself contributes to some extent in increasing the life span.
