Egyptian Tobacco Official Warns Against Buying Cigarettes Amid Price Hike

The head of the tobacco department at the Egyptian Federation of Industries, Ibrahim Inbabi, has warned against buying cigarettes after some sellers raised prices in unprecedented ways.

Ibrahim Yampabi, a representative from Philip Morris, has stated that the company has not recently increased prices and is urging citizens not to purchase cigarettes at prices higher than the official price. Customers can verify the official price by scanning the barcode on the packaging. Yampabi assured customers that they are protected from any illegal price inflation by distributors. Prices for various Philip Morris brands, such as Marlboro, Merit, and LM, have increased by £14.5, depending on the type of cigarette.
