How much do cigarettes cost in Georgia?
Pack prices and how to buy them when they aren't on display.
Short answer
A pack of well-known international cigarette brands costs about 8-9 GEL in Georgia, while local and budget brands are cheaper. Cigarettes are sold in supermarkets, corner shops and petrol stations, but by law they are not displayed, so ask the cashier. Selling tobacco to anyone under 18 is prohibited.
Why
- Cigarette prices in Georgia are driven largely by excise duty, which the state keeps raising.
- The Law on Tobacco Control bans displaying tobacco products in shops.
- Smoking indoors, including in cafes and bars, is prohibited.
Details
How many cigarettes you can bring into Georgia duty-free is set by customs rules, so check them on the Revenue Service website before you travel. Airport duty-free prices can be lower than in town.
