A proposed tax increase on tobacco products in Italy could raise cigarette prices to €5, generating up to €13.8 billion for the national health care system. Supported by health organizations and Senate Vice President Domenica Castellone, the initiative aims to combat smoking-related health issues, particularly lung cancer, which accounts for 90% of diagnoses in the country. The plan may involve a public referendum to gauge citizen support before being discussed in the Senate.
