How Can Toxicology Enhance the Effectiveness of Tobacco Taxes?
Toxicology can enhance the effectiveness of tobacco taxes by providing ongoing research and evidence-based recommendations. For instance, toxicologists can identify emerging tobacco products, such as e-cigarettes, and assess their health risks, thereby aiding in the formulation of comprehensive tax strategies that encompass all forms of tobacco. Furthermore, toxicological studies can track the impact of taxes on public health over time, ensuring that policies remain adaptive and responsive to new scientific findings.
