Țigările ar putea ajunge la aproape 12 euro pachetul în Germania. Guvernul pregătește scumpiri anuale și țintește încasări de 12 miliarde de euro

Germany plans to increase tobacco taxes, potentially raising cigarette prices to nearly 12 euros by 2030. The Bundestag has approved gradual tax hikes starting in 2027, aiming to discourage smoking and boost government revenue. Current prices average around 8.05 euros, with projections indicating annual increases. Premium brands may reach 14 euros per pack. The government anticipates an additional 12 billion euros in revenue from 2027 to 2030, despite industry concerns about potential shifts to cheaper alternatives. Opposition parties have criticized the reform for various reasons, while health experts support price hikes as a means to reduce tobacco consumption.
