Familiarity with a brand can increase the likelihood of purchase. Tobacco advertising often portrays smoking as glamorous, sophisticated, or associated with desirable lifestyles. This image can appeal to consumers, particularly younger individuals, who aspire to such ideals. Advertisements featuring social situations and peer groups can encourage social smoking and peer pressure, leading to higher demand, especially among adolescents and young adults. Stress and Anxiety: Some individuals are turning to smoking as a coping mechanism to manage stress and anxiety. Nicotine, a chemical in cigarettes, can provide temporary relief from stress, creating a perceived benefit for smokers. Smoking is often associated with a relaxing ritual, and the act of smoking itself can be calming for some people. This relaxation effect can make cigarettes appealing to those seeking stress relief. In some social circles, smoking is seen as a way to bond with others or reduce stress together. Social factors can encourage smoking in stressful situations. Inflating Income Levels: Higher income individuals may find it more affordable to purchase cigarettes regularly due to their increased disposable income. Cigarettes are considered discretionary spending, and those with higher incomes have more room in their budget for such expenses. Cigarettes often have an inelastic demand, meaning that changes in price have a relatively small impact on demand. Higher-income individuals may continue to purchase cigarettes even when prices rise, contributing to sustained demand. Affluent consumers may prefer premium or imported cigarette brands, which tend to be more expensive. This preference is driving the demand for higher-priced cigarettes.
