DownloadOverall Score
2020
Ireland scores higher than the average score of countries in its region, income group, and the global average, but lower than top performing countries. There is still some room for improvement in its cigarette tax system.
Component Score
2020
Ireland scores well in the cigarette price, tax share, and tax structure components, but poorly in the affordability change. Ireland would benefit from reducing cigarette affordability.
Scores Over Time
Ireland's overall scores slightly increased from 2014 to 2020 due to an increase in the tax share of price.
