Abstract

This article examines the influence that certain publicly and privately funded programs have on state‐level cigarette tax setting behavior. The article finds that the impact of Project ASSIST (a federally sponsored program designed to decrease cigarette consumption) has had a marginal impact on taxes in selected states in the United States. In addition, private giving to the American Cancer Society has had a statistically insignificant impact on tax‐setting behavior. (JEL H20, H29)
