Tobacco tax refers to the tax levied by the government on tobacco products. At present, China's tax rate on tobacco products is relatively low, but with the country's emphasis on health, the tobacco tax rate has also increased. It is reported that the tobacco tax rate increased a little in 2023. With the increase of tobacco price tax rate, the tobacco price in 2023 will also increase.

Tobacco production costs include planting, picking, processing and packaging. With the rising of labor cost, raw material cost and transportation cost, the cost of tobacco production is also increasing. This also led to an increase in tobacco prices in 2023. In recent years, there are more and more restrictions on tobacco consumption in China, which leads to a gradual decrease in tobacco consumption, and the increase in tobacco prices is also a reflection of this trend.

How to deal with tobacco price increase?

1. Reduce smoking: Tobacco prices are rising, which is also a good opportunity for smokers to reduce smoking. We can gradually reduce smoking or choose to give up smoking.

2. Choose the right tobacco brand: In the case of rising tobacco prices, smokers can choose some tobacco brands with relatively low prices, or choose some tobacco brands suitable for their own tastes.

3. Pay attention to the dynamics of the tobacco industry: Paying attention to the dynamics of the tobacco industry can help smokers better understand the changes in tobacco prices so as to take countermeasures.

4. Education and guidance: While implementing the policy of cigarette price increase, we should strengthen education and guidance for smokers, help them establish correct values and realize the harm of smoking to themselves and others. In a word, although increase in the price of cigarettes can't completely solve the problem of tobacco control, it is undoubtedly a method worth trying.
