Why Cigarette Price is High? 🚬 - ITC | Kings | Vape | Tobacco | Varun Talks

Описание: In this video, we deep dive into the recent Central Excise (Amendment) Bill 2025 passed in the Parliament and how it’s going to drastically change the tobacco prices in India starting February 1, 2026. From the reintroduction of specific excise duties to the removal of the GST compensation cess, there is a lot of confusion.
We break down:
The Math: Is it true that a single stick could go up to ₹72?
The Length Factor: Why the price hike depends on the "mm" (length) of your cigarette.
The Strategy: Is the government doing this for public health or to protect its ₹50,000 Crore revenue?
Who gets hit most? From Gold Flake to Marlboro—how different brands will be impacted.
The affordability of cigarettes hasn't changed much in the last 10 years, but 2026 is going to be a game-changer for smokers and the tobacco industry (ITC, etc.) alike. Watch the full video to understand the "behind the scenes" of these new tax slabs.
