This article from the Ennhar Online shows the relative inelasticity of demand for cigarettes and tobacco in Algeria. The government has increased the price of cigarettes, tobacco and chewing tobacco several times, as well as imposing a hefty tax on importing and producing tobacco related goods. However, this has had little effect on the people of Algeria, who continue to smoke despite increasing prices. Because tobacco is an addictive substance, this has caused the PED to be inelastic.
