Tobacco, from today increase of 20 cents for chopped tobacco, cigars and sticks

The rise in prices for tobacco-related products continues, in line with the planned increases envisaged by the latest budget law. The 2026 budget in fact provides for a progressive increase in the years 2026-2028 of the fixed minimum amount of excise duties on cigarettes, cigarillos and cut tobacco, and redefines the coefficients for calculating the excise duty on heated tobacco products.

After the latest increases in April and May, the plan for the gradual adjustment of taxes on smoking products during the year put in place by the Customs and Monopolies Agency marks a new stage with effect from 14 October 2026.

The change in the price in the sales rate of shredded tobacco, cigars and sticks (+ 20 cents) affects 13 brands of manufactured tobacco and, in the marketing table, 15 brands of combustion-free inhalation tobacco and similar products. The updated price lists, published in the "excise - tobacco" section of the Adm website, can be consulted here.

According to government forecasts, the increase in public prices of cigarettes and tobacco will guarantee greater revenue of 1.47 billion euros over the three-year period: 213 million euros for the year 2026, 465.8 million for the year 2027 and 796.9 million for the year 2028.
