Background info abt smoking in Austrilia/externality

In the early 2000s, approximately 21% of the Australian adult population were smokers, with higher prevalence among Indigenous Australians and lower-income groups.

Recognizing the health risks associated with smoking, such as increased rates of lung cancer, heart disease, and stroke, the Australian government initiated a comprehensive anti-smoking campaign.

According to a report by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) published in 2013, the estimated total social costs of tobacco use in Australia for the 2004-2005 financial year were AUD 31.5 billion. This figure included healthcare costs, lost productivity, and other factors.
