Greetings, iam Clarence Mayton, Buongiorno.

Whoa, cigarettes are really popular in Germany! I mean, it’s like they’re everywhere. You can’t go anywhere without seeing someone puffing away. It’s crazy! But why is that? Well, let’s take a look and find out.

Back in ‘59, HB cigarettes were the top dog with 17% of the market share. They held that spot until ‘84, and even became Europe’s best-seller in ‘75. But since ‘86, Marlboro has been king of the hill on the German market.

  1. Taxation: Cigarettes are heavily taxed in Germany, making them more expensive than in many other countries.

  2. Availability: Cigarettes are widely available in Germany, with most convenience stores and supermarkets stocking them.

  3. Smoking Culture: Smoking is still relatively common in Germany, with around one-third of adults smoking regularly or occasionally.

  4. Advertising Restrictions: Advertising for cigarettes is heavily restricted in Germany, with no television or radio advertising allowed and only limited print advertising permitted.

  5. Health Warnings: All cigarette packaging must include health warnings about the dangers of smoking, as well as information about the ingredients contained within the cigarettes themselves.

Cigarettes are really popular in Germany - you can’t go anywhere without seeing someone puffing away! It’s crazy how many people smoke there. In fact, it’s like a national pastime or something. I mean, you can’t walk down the street without seeing someone with a cigarette in their hand. It’s kinda wild!
