The Danish cigarette tax is changed on 9 January 2005 aiming to increase the retail price of the cigarettes, especially the cheaper ones. The new cigarette stamps, the series 47, have the identification code of number 2.



In Denmark cigarettes are traditionally sold in packs of 10 or 20. However, during 2005, new brands of cigarettes in other quantities were introduced, such as packs of 18, 19, 24 and 25.
