In early August 2026, Turkey’s tobacco market underwent several rapid waves of price increases. Following initial hikes by the Turkey Tekel Bayileri Yardımlaşma Derneği and Japan Tobacco International (JTI), Philip Morris implemented price adjustments effective 6 August. This move pushed premium brands like Parliament Midnight to 140 TL, while Marlboro and Muratti were priced between 120 TL and 130 TL. JTI also increased its Winston, Camel, and LD lines, typically by approximately 10 TL.

On 10 August, Imperial Tobacco joined the trend with new pricing ranging from 110 TL for West products to 130 TL for Davidoff Slims. Market data from the Monopolized Retailers Solidarity Association (TBYD) indicates a broad upward trend across the industry: Captain Black brands maintain a minimum of 110 TL, while BAT and JTI groups have set base prices at 115 TL. 

Industry observers attribute these continuous price adjustments to inflation and shifts in Special Consumption Tax (ÖTV) thresholds.
