Tobacco in France - Research and Markets

Tobacco saw continued decline in France in 2023 in both volume and value terms. The increase in taxes on cigarettes during the year led to higher prices, with popular brands such as Marlboro Red 20 priced at EUR11.50, Camel Filters 20 at EUR11.00, and Vogue Original at EUR10.90. This hike in prices had a variety of impacts, including the ongoing growth of illicit trade volumes, with a rising share of counterfeits originating from Belgium and increasingly from France.
