2020
Estonia scored slightly better than the average score in its region and the global average, but lower than that of its income group and top performing countries. Estonia would benefit from improvements to its cigarette tax system.
Component Score
2020
Estonia scores well in tax share and tax structure, but scores in the mid-range in cigarette price. Estonia scores poorly in affordability change and can improve its overall score by increasing the cigarette prices while reducing cigarette affordability.
Scores Over Time
Estonia's overall scores saw a slight decrease from 2014 to 2020. In that time, the tax share of price increased and the tax structure improved. Still, there was a failure to reduce cigarette affordability over time.
