France to Lower Prices on Select Cigarette Brands Starting March 1
After years of consecutive price increases, a new tariff adjustment will reduce prices for certain cigarette brands while others will see slight increases.
- The French government has announced that prices for select cigarette brands will decrease by up to 25 cents starting March 1, 2025.
- Brands such as Camel Filters, Winston, and The King Filters will see reductions of 20 to 25 cents per pack depending on the product size.
- Conversely, some brands like Maya Blue Spirit and Maya Original Spirit will experience a 20-cent price increase per pack.
- The price adjustment follows an official decree issued by French customs on February 7, 2025, detailing the new tariffs.
- This change comes as part of a broader government plan to set a minimum cigarette price of 13 euros by 2027, aiming to curb tobacco consumption, which is linked to 75,000 annual deaths in France.
