Overview
Abstract
The Data on Alcohol, Tobacco and Aliments (DATA) in Africa Project of the Economics of Tobacco Control Project at the University of Cape Town seeks to increase awareness of and access to economic and policy data for tobacco and alcohol-related policies in sub-Saharan Africa. The project collated economic data on tobacco in Kenya from public records. Data on consumption, production, price, trade, excise tax and tax revenue of tobacco and tobacco products were extracted from the KNBS annual reports, Statistical Abstracts and Economic Surveys. The DATA Project sourced the tobacco excise tax regime data from reports of the Kenya Institute of Public Research and International Institute for Legislative Affairs in Kenya. The tobacco tax structure data illustrates the progression from a uniform tax, to a tiered tobacco excise tax system, and then to a specific tax between 2003 and 2016. Tobacco consumption, tax revenue, trade, and price data are all imperative for sound research on the impact of tobacco tax and other policies on consumption, trade and revenue. This research is crucial for policy makers and public health advocates.
