Health Minister James Reilly wants to see each cigarette cost €1 to drive home to smokers the dangers of their habit.
He was speaking at the launch of the "Healthy Ireland" document which aims to improve the nation's lifestyle habits and get all government departments working together to make it easier for people to give up some of their sins.
However, the document, which is not costed, remains largely aspirational except for a commitment that the cabinet committee on social policy will oversee its progress, a high-level implementation plan will be drawn up and a Healthy Ireland Council will be set up.
