As the tobacco industry generates negative externality in the market, the social cost of producing tobacco becomes greater than the private cost of producing tobacco and hence the socially optimal price and quantity of tobacco is found where the supply (private +public costs) intersects the demand curve. Here the supply( private+public costs) curve intersects the demand curve at a price of $1.80 and at a quantity of 35. Hence, the socially optimal price and quantity are:
$1.80 and 35 units respectively.
