Here are the prices of cigarettes by brand in 2025
In France, a pack of cigarettes today costs between 12 and 14 euros, 12.50 euros on average. These are tobacco manufacturers (tobacco companies) who set the selling prices of their packages taking into account changes in taxes levied by the state (which represent around 80% of the price of a pack of cigarettes). They can pass on the increase in these taxes, which increases the price of the package, or reduce their margins in order to gain market share, which causes the sale price to stagnate or fall. The prices are then approved jointly by the Ministry of Solidarity and Health and the Ministry of Action and Public Accounts.
| Brand (pack of 20 cigarettes) | Price in October 2025 |
|---|---|
| Dunhill Blue | 13.50 euros |
| Marlboro Red / Gold | 13 euros |
| Marlboro White Fresh | 12.50 euros |
| Camel without filter | 12.50 euros |
| Philip Morris Blue / Gold | 12.50 euros |
| Lucky Strike Blue | 12.50 euros |
| White blonde Gauloises | 12.50 euros |
| Winfield red | 12.50 euros |
