  1. 1932CorrelationExpected causationAct Amending the Tobacco Monopoly Act

    Passed 1310/12/26 (1932), it fixes the state tobacco monopoly's mandatory purchase prices (per traditional 'man' weight unit) for different varieties and growing regions of raw tobacco leaf, sets import duties on foreign tobacco products and cigarette paper (200 percent and 50 percent of import value, respectively), and criminalizes unlicensed tobacco processing equipment and smuggling.

    Why this link: This 1932 law directly amends the state tobacco monopoly (Regie/Dokhaniyat) statute that this chart tracks across its entire span, making it a direct legal input to the monopoly's structure and workforce over this period.

    Caveat: The chart aggregates the monopoly's evolution across a full century from many legal instruments; this single 1932 amendment is one contributing statute among several reorganizations, so its isolated share of any single data point cannot be separated out.

    Lag: Immediate, upon enactment.
  2. 1932CorrelationExpected causationAct Amending Articles 3 and 4 of the Tobacco Act

    Passed on 19 Aban 1311 (1932), this act sets fixed excise rates, by weight, on various grades of domestic and imported tobacco, cigarettes, snuff and cigarette paper collected by the state Tobacco Monopoly Institute, and obligates the government to purchase the domestic tobacco crop at an annually announced price.

    Why this link: Amends Articles 3 and 4 of the tobacco tax law, directly changing the tax/revenue regime under which Iran's tobacco monopoly (Dokhaniyat) operated through the 20th century.

    Caveat: The chart tracks the monopoly's concession, conversion and workforce history broadly; this single 1932 tax amendment is one of many legal changes across a century-long institutional arc.

    Lag: Short-term; tax changes feed through to the tobacco monopoly's finances within the same fiscal cycle.
