DownloadOverall Score
2020
Hungary scores higher than the global average, but lower than the average score of countries in its region and income group. This suggests that there is room for improvement in its cigarette tax policies.
Component Score
2020
Hungary scores well in the cigarette price and tax structure components of the score, mid-range in the tax share component, and poorly in affordability change. Hungary would benefit from reducing cigarette affordability and increasing the tax share of price.
Scores Over Time
Hungary's overall scores fell from 2014 to 2020, largely due to a failure to reduce the affordability of cigarettes over time.
