All the stakeholders working to control the menace of tobacco have welcomed this timely move of the FBR.<br \/>\nWe appreciate that the government took seriously the recommendations adopted at a high-profile seminar held earlier on 3rd February 2023 by Sustainable Development Policy Institute and participated by the health policy experts and worthy speakers. It speaks about the concerns that civil the society organizations had regarding the spread of tobacco products.<br \/>\nThe policy experts also propose imposing high taxes on Heated Tobacco Products (HTPs) and electronic smoking products that have started flooding our markets. SDPI is hopeful of such taxation in near future.<br \/>\nIn the current move, FBR excise duty has increased from Rs 41 per pack to Rs 101 per pack, and on premium cigarettes, the excise duty has also increased from Rs 130 per pack to Rs 330 per pack.<br \/>\nThe economy and premium packs will see an increase of 146.3 % and 153.8%, respectively. Since June 2022, the Federal Excise Duty on economy and premium packs has increased by 206.1% and 217% respectively.<br \/>\nReiterating the need for such healthy measures, SDPI further emphasized the need for a consistent and long-term tobacco taxation policy. We demand of the government to take such measures in a systematic way. Evidence from around the globe implies that increasing the taxes always results in reduction of tobacco consumption. Experts at SDPI believe that HTPs, which Pakistan started regulating recently, should also be brought under heavy taxation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad In a pleasant surprise by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), excise duty on tobacco products has been increased through a statutory regulatory ordinance (SRO).
