Smokers were expecting the CDU-CSU-SPD coalition to have 'some' rise in the smokes tax. Based on talk this AM....by early 2027, a single pack of smokes will be around 12 Euro ($13.5).
If you were a pack a day smoker? Well....you'd need 360 Euro (figure close to $420)....for a month.
1978....Frankfurt....a pack of smokes ran for 2.40 DM (figure $1.20).

Do other EU countries have such a high tax?
Most are in the 10 Euro a pack, or more. Ireland, most expensive....18 Euro a pack. Bulgaria.....around 4 Euro a pack. I read somewhere last year....German cops suggest one pack of every ten....illegally brought into the country (untaxed).
