(Illustrative example) A cigarette pack priced at 350 earlier With higher excise + GST, the post-tax price could move to 380420 This 3070 jump is enough to: Trigger down-trading Push consumers toward illicit / unorganized alternatives What demand economics explains: Price-inelastic demand keeps consumption stable, not earnings Habitual demand delays quitting but changes buying behaviour Substitute demand grows when legal prices rise sharply Income-inelastic demand leads to down-trading, not exit Effective demand (legal sales) falls faster than total consumption What may happen next: Illicit and irregular demand may rise as price gaps widen Unorganised sales gain share Legal volumes remain under pressure Earnings recovery depends more on enforcement and compliance than demand alone Why stocks corrected (in simple terms): Even a 510% drop in legal volumes can cause a much bigger hit to profits, because pricing power weakens and earnings become less predictable
