Average retail price of cigarettes in Singapore 2014-2023

In 2023, the average retail price for a 20-stick pack of cigarettes in Singapore was 14.87 Singapore dollars. Tobacco and tobacco products are heavily taxed in Singapore, as part of the government efforts to reduce the rate of smoking. Efforts to reduce tobacco consumptionThe National Tobacco Control Program, or NTCP for short, is a program initiated in 1986 by the Singaporean Ministry of Health to reduce smoking rates in Singapore. Several measures have since been implemented in an effort to reduce smoking rates, such as imposing high taxes and introducing standardized package for tobacco products. Furthermore, the variety of tobacco products available in Singapore is strictly controlled; products such as shisha tobacco, snuff, chewing tobacco, and electronic vaporizers are banned in the country. Towards a nation of non-smokersAlthough Singapore has one of the world’s lowest smoking rates, the smoking rate among males has increased in years prior to 2016, whereas the prevalence of smoking among females has slightly declined. With the prevalence of smoking estimated to increase among the adult population until 2025, it is clear that this ongoing, long-term program still has a long road ahead to achieve the set goal.

至2023年，新加坡一盒20支香烟的平均零售价格为14.87新加坡元。鉴于新加坡政府对降低吸烟率的决心，烟草及其制品在新加坡承受着重税。为减少烟草消费，新加坡卫生部于1986年启动了国家烟草控制计划（简称NTCP），旨在降低新加坡的吸烟率。自此，已实施多项措施，包括征收高额税收和推行烟草制品的标准化包装。此外，新加坡对烟草制品的种类实施了严格管控；水烟、鼻烟、嚼烟和电子雾化器等制品在新加坡被明令禁止。尽管新加坡的吸烟率位居世界最低行列，但截至2016年之前，男性的吸烟率有所上升，而女性的吸烟率则略有下降。预计至2025年，成年人群中的吸烟率将有所增加，显而易见，这一持续且长期的项目仍需克服重重困难，以实现既定的目标。
