2020
Bahamas scores higher than the average score of countries in its region and the global average, but below countries in its income group and top performers. The Bahamas would benefit from some improvements to its cigarette tax system.
Component Score
2020
Bahamas scores well in cigarette price and tax structure, but poorly in affordability change and tax share. Improvements can be made by reducing cigarette affordability and increasing the tax share of price.
Scores Over Time
Bahamas' overall scores saw a decrease from 2014 to 2020, largely due to a failure to reduce cigarette affordability over time.
