Beer, wine and cider prices have been capped under the Chancellor's new rules - however cigarette prices will rise almost immediately.
Tobacco duty rates will increase at 6pm on Wednesday, the Government has confirmed.
Hidden in the small print of Rishi Sunak's Budget 2020 speech, he revealed prices will rise by up to 6% across the board.
Duty rates on all tobacco products will increase by 2% from Wednesday - while the rate on hand-rolling tobacco will increase by 6% this year.
These changes will take effect from 6pm on March 11, 2020.
It will follow a ban on menthol and flavoured cigarettes from May this year as part of plans to curb social smoking.
Menthol cigarettes will be made illegal from UK stores, along with skinny cigarettes and flavoured rolling tobacco, from May 20, when the laws come into force.
The ban, stemming from new EU Tobacco Product Directive laws, is part of a bid to deter young people from taking up smoking by outlawing cigarettes with a 'characterising flavour' other than tobacco.
It's understood that these cigarettes encourage social smoking among young people - which the Government wants to put a stop to.
The plan to phase out flavoured cigarettes completely follows a ban on packs of 10 in May 2017.
The charity ASH (Action on Smoking and Health) said the latest changes will stop the production and sale of any filters, paper, packaging, capsules or other component containing flavouring in cigarettes and hand rolling tobacco.
It also extends to 'technical features' which would allow consumers to modify the 'smell, taste, or smoke intensity' of the product.
Amanda Sandford, of ASH, said increasing the price of cigarettes and stopping the sale of smaller packets have made smoking less appealing.
She added that banning menthol cigarettes could deter more younger people from smoking, saying: "It is naturally hard to inhale smoke and for many the first time they smoke it is repugnant, but people persevere with it and that's when they become addicted.
"There is evidence that menthol cigarettes relax the airways and the flavour masks the harshness of the smoke, therefore younger people find it easier to smoke.
"However, it is an absolute myth that menthol cigarettes are better for you.
"All cigarettes are harmful and menthol cigarettes are just as dangerous as normal cigarettes."
