Italy tobacco and cigarette price increases

Overview

Tobacco and cigarette prices in Italy are undergoing a series of increases driven by progressive excise duty adjustments. In October 2026, the Customs and Monopolies Agency (Adm) implemented a 20-cent price hike per unit for 13 brands of processed tobacco and 14 brands of non-combustion inhalation tobacco.

Looking ahead, the 2026 Budget Law outlines further scheduled increases. Traditional cigarettes are projected to see an average price rise of approximately 25 cents per pack in 2027, with total increases potentially reaching 40 cents per pack by 2028. These adjustments result from changes to both the fixed and percentage components of the excise tax.
