Turkey is a country where each fifth of us has been to. Our people know this country like a place where everything is included. Everyone who has ever been to Turkey knows this country like a cycle of beach – alcohol – animation – party time. Alcohol is very cheap in this country that’s why many people like it here. But as for tobacco, it’s much more difficult. Prices for it here are enormous in comparison with Russian prices.

Nowadays many people are interested in the price of cigarettes in Turkey. As a rule people ask this question on the Internet and receive a reply that tobacco goods are very expensive in this country. Is it so?

It’s true that if you smoke it’s cheaper to buy cigarettes at home because Turkish cigarettes cost two or three times more. Prices for cigarettes are fixed because they are set by the government. That’s why cigarettes cost the same around this country.

Tobacco goods can be imported by adult people. A tourist can take three blocks free of duty.

A pack of the cheapest cigarettes costs about 3 dollars in Turkey. Cigarettes that are a bit better cost 5 dollars. High-quality cigarettes cost more than 7 dollars.

In Turkey there is a law prohibitting smoking in public places. That’s why it’s better not to smoke on the beach and in other places because you can be fined or arrested. Cigarettes cost very expensive (more than 2,5 dollars) even in Duty Free.
