Philip Morris Brands See 10 TL Increase, Pushing Prices Higher

Smokers in Türkiye are facing significantly higher cigarette prices in 2025, with major brands experiencing substantial increases attributed largely to hikes in the Special Consumption Tax (SCT) on tobacco products.

Effective March 10, 2025, products within the Philip Morris group saw a notable 10 TL price increase per pack, according to Erol Dündar, President of the Tekel Dealers Mutual Aid Association (TBYD). This latest rise pushes the cost of popular brands even higher.

With this increase, the prices of cigarettes in the Philip Morris group were updated as follows:

• Parliament Night Blue Pack (Long): 89 TL
• Parliament Aqua Blue Slims: 88 TL
• Parliament Night Blue / Aqua Blue / Reserve: 87 TL
• Parliament Midnight Blue: 84 TL
• Marlboro Red Long: 87 TL
• Marlboro Red / Touch: 85 TL
• Marlboro Touch Blue / Gray / White: 85 TL
• Marlboro Edge: 83 TL
• Marlboro Edge Blue / Sky: 82 TL
• Muratti: 82 TL
• Muratti Blu: 81 TL
• Lark: 81 TL
• Chesterfield: 80 TL
• L&M: 80 TL
• Marlboro Roll 50 (Chop Tobacco): 110 TL

These price hikes, particularly steep following a period of relative stability, are reportedly causing smokers to reconsider their consumption habits due to the increased economic pressure. The rising costs continue to strain consumer budgets, reflecting the direct impact of government tax policies on tobacco affordability in Türkiye.
