Each choice set presented three packages varying in price, packaging design (branded or plain), stick design (branded or with warnings) and origin (licit or illicit), plus an opt-out option. A latent class model was used to identify distinct preference groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among adults who smoke, two classes were identified. Class I (40% membership) was price-sensitive for both licit and illicit packages and preferred plain over branded packaging and sticks with health warnings over branded sticks. Class II (60%) was not significantly price-sensitive, preferred branded packaging and branded sticks and showed a negative preference for illicit packages over not smoking. Among adults who do not smoke, two classes were also identified: one preferring branded packaging and sticks, and the other showing no significant preference for design attributes. Combining a 50% price increase with plain packaging and warning sticks reduced predicted package uptake among adults who smoke by 7.7 percentage points (\u221212.0 for licit and +4.2 for illicit).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study demonstrates that a combination of price-based and packaging-focused policies is crucial for effective tobacco control. Because distinct consumer groups respond differently to interventions, implementing both price increases and design-based warnings is necessary to achieve a broader reduction in tobacco consumption.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/tc-2025-059867","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,1]],"date-time":"2026-10-01T17:25:37Z","timestamp":1790875537000},"page":"tc-2025-059867","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Preferences on cigarette plain packaging among adults who smoke and adults who do not smoke: a discrete choice experiment in Chile"],"prefix":"10.1136","author":[{"given":"Daniel","family":"Araya-R\u00edos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience, Dublin, Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7863-907X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guillermo","family":"Paraje","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Business School, Universidad Adolfo Ibanez, Santiago de Chile, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas O","family":"Hancock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Choice Modelling Centre, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK"},{"name":"Health Economics Research Centre, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emmanouil","family":"Mentzakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Policy and Global Affairs, City University, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026100110201402000_tc-2025-059867v1.1","unstructured":"World Health Organization .
