Funding gaps for diseases caused by smoking in Mexico – CIEP
In 2020, nationwide, the cost of treating three diseases caused by smoking may be more than seven times the amount of revenue received by states from IEPS on tobacco. This means that the funds from IEPS received by states are not sufficient to cover healthcare costs caused by tobacco. The estimated cost of care for lung cancer (LCa), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in 2020 in Mexico is 93. aquí379 billion pesos, while states receive just 12.539 billion pesos in tobacco IEPS transfers. In every state, health care costs for those not covered by social security exceed by 3 to 12 times tobacco IEPS transfers. This is an additional reason to increase excise taxes on tobacco products.
