The Official State Gazette (BOE) has published for the fourth consecutive week the new tobacco prices in Spain. The reason for the succession of changes in the rates of cigarettes, cigars and rolling pins are explained because it is the manufacturers and importers themselves who decide the new prices and when they come into force.

The other part of the cost for tobacco consumers depends on the Government through taxes. Specifically, the Special Tax on tobacco products establishes that on cigarettes it is 51%, with a specific rate of 0.49 euros per pack. Regarding cigars and little cigarillos, it is 15.8%, 41.5% for rolling tobacco and 28.4% for tobacco from other tasks.

The Law on the Regulation of the Tobacco Market and Tax Regulations establishes, in its article 4 (relating to retail trade) that "the prices for sale to the public of the different types, brands and forms of tobacco intended to be marketed in Spain , with the exception of the Canary Islands, will be determined by the manufacturers or, where appropriate, their representatives or agents in the European Union». The changes come into force after their publication in the BOE.

These are the latest changes in tobacco prices in force since this week in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands published in the BOE of May 21:
