Abstract

Based on the cigarette consumption panel data of 2,592 counties (cities and districts) in China from 2020 to 2023, the article empirically examines the impact and mechanism of economic fluctuations on cigarette consumption. The results of the study show that economic fluctuations have a promotional effect on cigarette sales volume and sales, and this promotional effect is mainly manifested in the varying demand for high-tar cigarettes and low-priced cigarettes, and that the anxiety effect and the time preference effect of the residents caused by economic fluctuations are two important mechanisms influencing the consumption of cigarettes. Therefore, cigarettes are different from other consumer products with addictive characteristics, and the economic uncertainty caused by economic fluctuations is an important reason affecting residents’ cigarette consumption behaviour, and attention should be paid to reducing economic fluctuations and easing residents’ anxiety.
