Cigarette Sales Decreased in Bulgaria

Bulgaria's cigarette market decreased by more than 35 per cent to 10.6 billion pieces in 2010, according to domestic tobacco companies' figures.

In 2009, sales were 16 billion pieces, and in 2009, 19 billion.

"The main reason behind the sharp shrinkage of the market is smuggling, followed by restrictions on smoking Classic," representatives of major tobacco producer Bulgartabac said.
