That, rather than deliveries to retailers, is what will really tell you whether / how consumer behaviour changed after the introduction of plain packaging (though, as Junican says, you'd need also to take account of price movements as well as volume).Jon Fellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605593030130776634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-52841136720220370082014-03-24T22:54:45.009+00:002014-03-24T22:54:45.009+00:00Jon Fell might well be correct - I have calculated...Jon Fell might well be correct - I have calculated that 0.3% is very roughly about one day's supply. However, had PP had any on-going effect, one would have expected a fall over the year of some significance. <br />But there is another oddity. What has (or should have) been the effect of duty increases in the year?

I can quite believe that plain packaging has had no material impact on consumption but I'm not a big fan of newspaper stories on public health issues that don't point to actual published and reputable data sources (we know which way that tends to work). For instance, it would be useful to see the figure for 2012, and ask whether 2013 is unwinding some effect that depressed the prior year (eg retailers depleting their stocks in advance of the change of package).<br />Jon FellJon Fellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605593030130776634noreply@blogger.com
