Criteria Feedback
- Your investigation has a clear national focus, a defined time frame, and a question that stays connected to the main argument throughout.
- You chose a suitable secondary-research approach for a policy-based economics investigation and showed some thought about why this method fits the topic.
- Your question is still a little broad because it tries to capture several policy effects and a wide externality concept at once.
- The method would be stronger if you explained more clearly how you would distinguish the effects of taxation, plain packaging, and other tobacco-control measures.

Criteria Feedback
- You apply economic ideas such as negative externalities, market failure, welfare loss, and price elasticity in a generally relevant way.
- Your use of data and examples usually supports the topic rather than drifting into unsupported description.
- There are some technical inaccuracies in the economics, including the definition of price elasticity and some unit/scale issues in the evidence.
- Some datasets are used too confidently without enough scrutiny of how reliable or directly comparable they are.
