In the interactive tables above it’s shown how the increase in alcohol beverages and tobacco price affected their consumption during the time between 1995 and 2015. Although the price leveled up sales of alcoholic beverages seems not to decrease excessively while, if compared 1995 to 2015, tobacco consumption decrease of more than its half. Interesting to notice that Denmark is the country where people drink the most, while Swedish is the people “less addicted” to smoke. Around 2008 and 2009 Iceland faced a huge economic crisis and from that moment prices of all goods increased rapidly, moreover the Icelandic government approved a social program against the consumption of alcohol, tobacco and drugs by teenagers, bringing up the prices of those goods as an effect. Price indices of Iceland are indeed the highest among the Nordics.
