Hi IB fellow!

How does taxing on tobacco affect the tobacco industry in Bangladesh?

I'm just a HL student but I think your question is too general and nearly impossible to get primary data which is needed to get into the higher marks area. I mean what could you do? Ask a spokesman of the tabacco industr? quite unlikely.

Don't know if you need any ideas but i think for your topic you could talk about:

a) Demerit goods (considered to be unhealthy)
B) Policies?
c) negative externalities
d) price elasticites of demand (should be farily inelastic for tabacco isnt it?)
e) is the tax passed onto the consumer (links to elasticities).

Good luck!
