How much will 200g of hookah tobacco cost from 01.07.2024?

From 1 July 2024, when the sales restrictions on larger hookah tobacco tins are lifted, hookah lovers will once again be able to purchase 200g tins of their favourite tobacco. The prices for these larger tins will mainly depend on the tobacco variety and brand, but in general the cost is expected to be between €20 and €30 per tin. For Virginia tobaccos, which are known for their mild and aromatic quality, the price will be around 25 to 30 euros per 200g tin. Darker, more intense varieties such as Dark Blend could be somewhat more expensive and reach prices of around 30 euros per tin.
This price range reflects not only the cost of producing and distributing the tobacco, but also the changes in tobacco tax, which has increased since 2022. Despite the higher price, the larger tins offer better value for money compared to the smaller 25g packs, as they generally offer a more favourable price per gram. This represents a significant saving for regular hookah users as they will need to buy tobacco less frequently, while also reducing packaging waste.
Considering these factors, hookah users can expect to see a noticeable reduction in running costs from July 2024 if they choose to purchase 200g tins. This change is therefore very much welcomed, not only for the convenience but also for the cost savings it will bring.
