European survey
• Within WP2 of the PPACTE project, in 2010 a face-to-face European survey on smoking has been conducted in 18 European countries.
• Sample size for each country: around 1,000 individuals, representative of the population aged 15 years or over.
• A total of 18,056 subjects (8,653 men and 9,403 women) were enrolled.

Objectives
Among the main objectives of the survey in various European countries there was the evaluation of:
• Cigarette purchasing patterns and extent of tax evasion;
• Attitudes towards increasing in price;
• Behaviours towards fiscal policy.

Tax evasion score (TES)
• To validate self-reported information on smuggling, smokers were asked to show their latest purchased pack of cigarettes. Interviewers collected information on health warning and tax stamp.
• TES smokers were those with at least one of the following characteristics:
1. Self-reported smuggling2. Inappropriate health warning3. Inappropriate tax stamp 4. Extremely low price

Tax evasion score (TES)The overall proportion of TES was 7.5%. The highest prevalence was observed in Latvia (38.8%), followed by Bulgaria (24.1%) and Sweden (19.4%). The countries with the lowest prevalence of TES were France (2.6%), Greece (2.1%) and Portugal (0.0%).

• Overall, tobacco tax evasion is less than 8%.
• Tax evasion more frequently affects less educated subjects (OR=1.96), compared to more educated ones.
• Evaders more frequently live in countries with a land or sea border with Ukraine, Russia, Moldova or Belarus (OR=3.22).
• This confirms that the supply of the illicit cigarettes is an important factor which contributes to tax evasion.

Conclusions
• In Europe, the extent of illicit trade for cigarettes likely ranges between 4% (self-reported) and 8% (validated with objective information).
• Around 80% [70%] of non smokers and 50% [40%] of smokers support an increase in price by 5% [20%].
• Assuming a 20% increase in price, 14% of current smokers would quit, 31% would reduce consumption, 22% would switch to cigarettes with lower prices and 34% would not change their habit.
