Cigarettes and rolling tobacco: price changes on 1 September 2020
Publié le null - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
From 1er in september 2020, the prices of certain tobacco products are changing, as provided for in a decree on the retail selling prices of cigarettes, cigarillos, cigars and hand-rolling tobacco published in Official Journal August 11, 2020.
Some brands increase the price of the package by 20 units of €9.20 to €9.30 when others lower it by €9.60 to €9.40.
The Order lists all the marks marketed in its schedule. This nomenclature is also available on the website of the General Directorate of Customs and Indirect Taxes.
FYI
It is the tobacco companies that set the price of the package taking into account the evolution of the taxes levied by the State (which represent approximately 80% the price of a pack of cigarettes).
They can pass on the increased taxes, which increases the price of the package, or they can reduce their margins to gain market share, which stagnates the sale price or even lowers it.
The prizes are then jointly approved by the Ministry of Solidarity and Health and the Ministry of Action and Public Accounts.
Reminder
In 2017, the Ministry of Solidarity and Health wanted to gradually increase the average price of a pack of cigarettes to €10 by the end of 2020 to reduce tobacco consumption. Price is one of the disincentives to tobacco use and is also a strong incentive for smokers to quit.
