Tobacco, double price increase of cigarette packs in 2027

In Italy, cigarette prices will increase starting July 1, 2027, due to a new law that accelerates planned tax hikes. The average price per pack will rise by approximately 13 cents, with specific increases varying by price category. For example, a pack currently priced at €5.80 will cost €5.93. The law also affects other tobacco products, including rolling tobacco and heated tobacco, with corresponding tax adjustments. These changes are part of the budget law for 2027-2029, which aims to implement tax increases earlier than previously scheduled.
