Indonesia has some of the cheapest cigarette prices in Asia. A comparison of Marlboro cigarette prices after tax, published by the ranking website Numbeo, shows that Indonesian cigarettes cost around Rp 20,000 per pack. This is one-sixth the price in Singapore, where similar cigarettes cost approximately Rp 120,000.
Kazakhstan has the cheapest cigarette prices in Asia, at Rp 12,000 per pack. Vietnam is second, at Rp 13,800. The low price of cigarettes in Indonesia is attributed to low cigarette excise taxes. This leads a significant portion of the impoverished population to prioritize cigarette purchases over allocating more income to daily necessities.
On January 1, 2017, the government increased the average cigarette excise tax by 10.54 percent, resulting in higher retail prices. This increase in excise tax and retail price was implemented to control cigarette consumption and increase state revenue from tobacco products.
