Tobacconists demonstrate against the increase to 10 euros of the price of a packet of cigarettes, scheduled by the government for 2020, on October 4, 2017 in Paris. Cigarette sellers took to the streets to attack the government's policy to gradually increase the price of a packet of cigarettes from €7 to €10 over the next three years, claiming the measures will ruin their business and won’t even reduce smoking. The price of a pack of cigarettes in France is among the highest in Europe, although Ireland and the UK have higher prices.
