Elasticity. Please, read the article Hainer, R.
(2010), provided in the required readings section
for this week. The tobacco industry is a prime
example to consider when talking about price
elasticity of demand. While nicotine use can be
addictive for many users, it is not addictive for
the so-called "social smokers". What can we say
about the price elasticity of demand for nicotine
products (such as cigarettes, pipes, tobacco) in
the group of nicotine addicted users, versus the
group of "social smokers"? Can we say whose
demand is likely to be more elastic? Why?
