<p>This paper examines the comparative effects of economic (tobacco excise tax increase) and prohibitive measures (tobacco advertising ban, smoking ban in public places and others) on the tobacco market among young people aged from 18 to 30. The first chapter considers the theoretical aspect of this problem, based on the experiences of different countries. In the second chapter the analysis of data obtained through questionnaires is presented, and the main results of the study are shown. It turned out that the economic measures are more effective in decreasing youth smoking than prohibitive measures. Smoking environment (smoking parents, friends) has a negative impact on reducing cigarette consumption.</p>
