Smoking Tobacco in Czech Republic, 2015

Summary

Evidence since 2009 suggests that these increases are also pushing cigarette smokers towards contraband. However, this is considered a short-term issue for rolling tobacco and along with tax increases in neighbouring markets such as Poland, the Czech smoking tobacco market can be expected to expand further over the coming decade.
