In 2023, the Irish cigarette market continued to decline, with volume sales dropping fast. Many factors contributed to this double-digit decline – the high cost of living and rising tobacco product taxes are two of the main causes. Ireland is currently among the most expensive countries in Europe, ranking just behind Switzerland and Iceland. Further, Ireland has the highest tobacco and alcohol prices in the European Union.
