Jeremy Hunt has raised tobacco duty by the rate of inflation plus an extra two per cent
Smokers will see cigarette prices hiked by nearly 15 per cent from tonight following Jeremy Hunt's budget statement. The UK chancellor has hiked tobacco duty in-line with inflation plus two per cent.
As reported by Mirror Money, the ONS has an average pack of 20 cigarettes priced at £12.84, so the increase will see the price rise to £14.73. And price rises are even worse for those who hand-roll their cigarettes, as they should expect to see the 12.7 per cent hike with an extra six per cent added on top.
Campaigners have accused the Chancellor of being "heartless and cruel" after Jeremy Hunt pledged to uprate tobacco duty. Price hikes aren't new for smokers, as costs typically go up each year. However, the last time cigarette prices were increased was in October 2021 it was by just 88p which was added to the most expensive packs.
