Why is tobacco (and cigarettes) becoming more expensive?

You have probably noticed that tobacco and cigarettes are becoming more expensive. Especially in 2018, the federal government has increased the excise tax on cigarettes and rolling tobacco. This is due to (new) economic measures. For example, the excise duty on cheap tobacco was previously increased.

Increasing the excise duty is intended to discourage tobacco consumption. This in itself is not strange because it also happens in other countries. Still, Belgium remains one of the cheaper countries with regard to these kinds of products.

Keeping tobacco and cigarettes fresh (shelf life)

When the prices of cigarettes and tobacco go up many people buy a quick supply. Here it is important to keep tobacco and cigarettes fresh for as long as possible. There is no expiry date on a packet of cigarettes or tobacco. As long as it stays closed it can be kept for a long time.

However, the tobacco can become dry. On the other hand, you should certainly not keep these products too damp. A humidity of 50-60% for cigarettes and tobacco is fine. Cigars are best kept at a humidity level of around 70%.

Be careful with tobacco products that are too moist. These can go moldy. It is then not recommended to smoke these products: throw them away. When tobacco or cigarettes have dried out, increase the humidity. Often it is then still possible to smoke the tobacco.
