2020
Kenya does not score well compared to average scores of countries in its region, income group, or the global average. Kenya would greatly benefit from improving its cigarette tax system.
Component Score
2020
Kenya scores in the mid-range in cigarette price component and scores poorly in affordability change, tax share, and tax structure. Kenya should increase cigarette prices, reduce cigarette affordability, increase tax share of price, and improve the tax structure.
Scores Over Time
Kenya's overall scores increased before falling between 2014 and 2020. In that time, cigarette prices increased, the tax share of price fell, and the tax structure score rose significantly before falling.
