About this Report

About this Report

Price is widely used for tobacco control, as increases erode sales. However, high prices can boost smuggling. Cigarettes have a high price-to-weight ratio and consumers often regard smugglers positively. Counterfeits and the internet also widen illicit trade’s scope. Governments and players reacted strongly, as players seek to protect brands and pricing structures. However, brands are often sold illegally at half duty paid prices, with illicit trade tricky to halt in countries with high prices.
