2020
Guatemala does not score well compared to the average score of countries in its region, income group, and global average. There is ample room for improvement in its cigarette tax system.
Component Score
2020
Guatemala has room for improvement across all four score components, scoring in the mid-range in cigarette price and tax structure and poorly in affordability change and tax share. Guatemala would greatly benefit from increasing cigarette prices, reducing cigarette affordability, increasing tax share of price, and improving tax structure.
Scores Over Time
Guatemala's overall scores decreased from 2014 to 2020 due to a failure to significantly reduce affordability over time.
