The most advantageous country prices vs opportunity to order cheap cigarettes online
Rare travelers, returning from a faraway country, will not bring any cigarettes from there, if they are cheaper there than in their country of residence. It so happened that because of the big difference in price cigarette products travel around the world no less than people. Although it is much more profitable to buy cheap cigarettes online.
Let’s take a look at a fresh map of cigarette prices in European countries, which was made up by an advisory committee of Irish tobacco manufacturers.
Top 3 most expensive countries in Europe at prices per pack of cigarettes:
- Norway
- Great Britain
- Ireland
Cheaper cigarettes than in the Czech Republic can be bought only in two EU countries: Lithuania and Bulgaria. On average, one pack of cigarettes costs 75 kroons in the Czech Republic. In Norway, smoking can be considered a luxury, for a pack you will have to shell out almost 300 kronor. Such a price range depends on the amount of the excise tax. Therefore, it is much more profitable to buy cheap cigarettes online.
Last year, 3.1% of the Czech tobacco market was the share of “black cigarettes” or otherwise – illegally imported products. Most illegal cigarettes are smoked in Lithuania, Latvia (a third of the total) and in Greece (the fifth part). Despite the fact that there are few illegal cigarettes in the Czech Republic, the loss of the economy from smuggling of tobacco products for the year amounted to 1.33 billion kroons.
Is not it easier for consumers to buy cheap cigarettes online?
You can place orders to any online store and find the same cigarette price as that of a remote European country. Even it will be a bit higher, it does not matter. Travel costs will be much higher than ordering of cigarettes online.
