costs to be 29 cents per pack of cigarettes. Cigarette taxes average 37 cents per pack. Based on the economist's definition of efficiency, it follows that a. cigarette taxes are too high, and cigarette production is lower than the efficient amount. b. cigarette taxes should be increased until external costs are zero. c. since the tax exceeds the marginal cost, we have a better than efficient outcome. d. we are overconsuming cigarettes.
