| dc.description.abstract | The health risk of smoking is valued using the contingent valuation method, applied to a Swedish
sample of smokers. The respondents were asked to put a value on newly developed cigarettes
with no associated health risks. The average additional willingness to pay for the new cigarettes
is estimated to be between10 and 41 SEK per packet. Using medical data on life shortening
effects of smoking, the results indicate fairly reasonable values put on a lost life year, compared
to existing estimates based on other methods. However, there are remaining methodological
questions and we found little sensitivity to scope. | swe |
