While this analysis was sponsored by an anti-tobacco initiative, it's very comprehensive and a very good starting point for a rational discussion on the optimal tobacco tax (obviously one can have different beliefs on the elasticities used in this report) - both Tymochenko and Yushchenko (and their advisors and speech writers) would benefit a lot from reading this kind of materials and making their decisions based on a detailed analysis, rather than based on the need for budget funding or the wish to inflict political damage on an opponent.
