Smokers should see their cigarette bills increase next year. Because if the government has ruled out a new turn of the screw on tobacco taxation in 2024, its prices have since last year been more in line with the evolution of the price of other products. And are therefore called to climb.

“We do not plan to increase [la fiscalité du tabac] next year,” announced Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne last Sunday. However, the new tobacco tax rules defined in the 2023 budget promise to continue to be felt.
