💡 Why Do Cigarette Prices Rise?
In Argentina, the price of cigarettes is largely composed of taxes (internal taxes, VAT, and other national and provincial levies), which represent a significant portion of the final cost. Periodic updates by tobacco companies typically respond to inflation and adjustments in the tax structure of the product.
