据荷兰新闻网报道，由于政府朝着实现每包卷烟10欧元（11.77美元）的目标迈进，荷兰的烟草价格今年上涨了近五分之一。

2020年的增长将减少两次税收，使一包卷烟的价格达到8.20欧元左右。 2021年1月1日将进一步上涨0.12欧分。

吸烟者仍占荷兰人口的22％。 在荷兰，每年约有35,000人死于吸烟、超重或饮酒问题。

政府的目标是到2040年将吸烟者和有问题的饮酒者的比例降低到5％，将超重人群的比例降低到38％。

Netherlands: Tobacco Prices up 20 percent

August 12, 2020

Tobacco prices in the Netherlands increased by nearly one-fifth this year as the government inches toward its goal of a €10 ($11.77) pack of cigarettes, reports DutchNews.

The 2020 increase is down to two tax increases, taking the price of a pack of cigarettes to around €8.20. A further rise of €0.12 cents will take place on Jan. 1, 2021.

Smokers still account for 22 percent of the Dutch population. Some 35,000 people a year die from the effects of smoking, being overweight or problem-drinking in the Netherlands.

The government aims to reduce the share of smokers and problem drinkers to 5 percent and the share of overweight people to 38 percent by 2040.
