Some statistics lie, but others tell the blunt truth:
Tax on a Pack of Cigarettes in:
| Denmark | —————————————> $3.88 |
| Norway | ———————————–> $3.45 |
| U.K. | ———————————> $3.27 |
| Sweden | —————————-> $2.80 |
| Germany | ———————–> $2.26 |
| Canada | ——————–> $1.95 |
| France | ——————–> $1.94 |
| Holland | ——————-> $1.82 |
| Australia | —————–> $1.67 |
| Japan | ————-> $1.32 |
| Italy | ————-> $1.31 |
| U.S. | —–> .56 |
I came upon this while filing some old stuff — the figures are dated January 17, 1995, and will have changed somewhat, with currency fluctuations if nothing else. For more up-to-date statistics, and a whole bunch of other stuff, try The Smoking Cessation Location.
