Once validated, the price is identical in every tobacconist, with no discounts, no promotions, no \u201cgood deals.\u201d Around 75\u201380% of what you pay is tax, barely 15% goes to the manufacturer, and about 8\u201310% to the tobacconist. On 1 January 2026, a new increase pushed most packs to around \u20ac12.50\u2013\u20ac13, with cheap brands almost wiped out.
