Cigarette Prices May Rise to Rs 72

Cigarette Prices May Rise to Rs 72

The Indian government is planning to make cigarettes much more expensive.

Right now, one cigarette costs about Rs 18, but it might soon cost Rs 72.

This is because the government wants to increase the taxes on cigarettes and other tobacco products.

Some smokers think this will help them quit, while others are joking that they might start using vapes instead.

People on social media have different opinions about this change.

Some think it's a good idea, while others are worried about fake or illegal cigarettes becoming more common.

The government passed a new law to make these changes, and it includes big increases in taxes for different types of tobacco products.
