DownloadOverall Score
2020
Israel scores higher than the global average, but lower than the average score of countries in its region, income group, and top performing countries, so there is ample room for improvement in the cigarette tax policies.
Component Score
2020
Israel scores well in the cigarette price and tax share components, mid-range in tax structure, and poorly in affordability change. Israel would benefit from reducing cigarette affordability, while improving its tax structure.
Scores Over Time
Israel's overall scores decreased from 2014 to 2020 due to a failure to reduce cigarette affordability over time.
