Answer

Are higher cigarette prices in Mallorca actually reducing smoking?

The overall picture suggests that smoking is slowly declining in the Balearic Islands, including Mallorca. Fewer packs are being sold, and the share of daily smokers has fallen over the long term. At the same time, higher prices can also push some smokers toward cheaper or unregulated products, so the effect is not entirely straightforward.
