The high cost of failing to reform the cigarette excise tax

Cigarette tax in Bangladesh: According to the budget, the tax rates have remained at 65 percent in the medium, high, and premium tiers of cigarettes, but increased to 65 percent from 57 percent in the low tier. The price for low, medium high and premium tiers will therefore increase by 12.50 percent, 3.08 percent, 1.80 percent and 5.63 percent, respectively.
