Some have argued that higher cigarette prices do not deter smoking. While there are many arguments both for and against this view, some find the following argument to be most persuasive of all: "The laws of supply and demand indicate that higher cigarette prices are ineffective in reducing smoking. In particular, higher cigarette prices will reduce demand for cigarettes. This reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price and quantity back to its original level. Since the equilibrium price remains unchanged, smokers will consume the same number of cigarettes" Do you agree or disagree with this view?
