Cigarettes and nicotine patches have a positive but small cross-price elasticity. Ceteris paribus, a cigarette tax on consumers would imply that: O There will be a large movement up the demand and supply curve of cigarettes and demand for nicotine patches would rise by a large amount O Demand for cigarettes would fall and demand for nicotine patches would fall by a small amount O The demand for cigarettes would fall and demand for nicotine patches would rise by a small amount There will be a small movement up the demand and supply curve of cigarettes and demand for nicotine patches would fall by a large amount
