Academic commentators have noted that Japanese cigarette prices are approximately one-quarter of the highest OECD price. This suggests there is room for further rate increases before reaching the demand suppression levels seen in high-tax countries, though the political economy of such increases is complicated by Tobacco Inc.s continued partial state ownership and the close regulatory relationship between the tobacco industry and the MOF. Alcohol taxes present a broadly analogous picture
