Alertă printre fumătorii români care își iau tutun din Bulgaria. Sofia decide creșterea prețurilor la țigări • Newsweek România

Bulgarian cigarette prices are set to rise due to increased excise taxes, impacting Romanian smokers who purchase tobacco from Bulgaria. Starting March 2027, the excise tax will increase to 126 euros per 1,000 cigarettes, following a previous hike in August 2026. This change is part of Bulgaria's accelerated tax program aimed at generating additional revenue. The price of a cigarette pack could rise by approximately 14 to 15 cents, bringing it to around 4.15 euros. Another tax increase is scheduled for January 2028, further affecting retail prices. Currently, Romanian cigarette prices are higher than those in Bulgaria, prompting cross-border purchases.
