Cigarette Prices in Morocco (2026)

⚠️ Customs Rules and Transport Limits

Import to Morocco: 200 cigarettes (1 carton) per adult passenger. Export to France (EU): 200 cigarettes maximum per person.

🌍 Overview

Morocco presents a very distinctive tobacco profile: very high male prevalence (estimated at 38-42% among adult men) but extremely low female prevalence (~2-3%), linked to sociocultural norms. The market was long controlled by a state monopoly (Régie des Tabacs / Manufacture de Tabacs du Maroc), partially privatised with the entry of Philip Morris International. Prices remain very affordable compared to Europe. Smuggling from Algeria and Ceuta (Spain) is a structural problem. Anti-smoking efforts remain less advanced than in Europe, though laws have been adopted.

Prices have been rising gradually since 2015, but remain 3 to 4 times cheaper than France. The state must balance tax revenues, economic accessibility and public health goals.
