GDI, another measure of econ output, grew 2.2% in Q1 & was revised up in Q4. Combining GDP & GDI increases accuracy. https://t.co/3pJDnfxz62 — PolitiTweet.org

Jason Furman NARA @CEAChair44

@mattyglesias Sometimes an issue really is that simple. — PolitiTweet.org

Jason Furman NARA @CEAChair44

Harmonizing tobacco taxes across products is essential, otherwise some people will just switch to other products. https://t.co/dKxFdyUWJH — PolitiTweet.org

Jason Furman NARA @CEAChair44

Tobacco taxes aren't regressive. Lower-income benefit the most from longer lives & progressive spending like CHIP https://t.co/lBeMis2jsn — PolitiTweet.org

Jason Furman NARA @CEAChair44

Tobacco tax has big public health benefits: lower smoking initiation, less use by smokers & fewer premature deaths https://t.co/l9lM0iVAbR — PolitiTweet.org

Jason Furman NARA @CEAChair44

The demand curve for cigarettes really does slope down. https://t.co/hhK5FtOHZa — PolitiTweet.org

Smoking plays a role in rising mortality inequality at middle-age but also declining mortality inequality at birth https://t.co/ApR3EMwmvN — PolitiTweet.org

Ballpark estimates suggest the 2009 increase in tobacco tax will cut premature deaths from smoking by 15-70K in each cohort of 18 year olds. — PolitiTweet.org
