The "E-Cigarettes: Heat-Not-Burn In Europe: Emerging Regulation For A New Category" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.
This report examines the regulation of heat-not-burn (HnB) or heated tobacco products in Europe, as well as some of the broader regulatory issues that they raise. It considers their treatment under the TPD; the question of whether they are smoking or smokeless products; and issues such as labelling, advertising and taxation. A detailed case study focuses on Italy.
- This report focuses on the regulation of heat-not-burn (HnB) tobacco products in Europe, as well as some of the broader regulatory issues that they raise.
- There is a resurgence of interest in HnB following the launch of iQOS by Philip Morris International (PMI), and in anticipation of planned launches by other tobacco companies over the coming months.
- It is unclear how these products will be treated for regulatory purposes in the EU. They were not widely available as a product category when the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), which came into force this year, was developed.
- HnB is generally considered by most stakeholders in the EU as a novel smokeless tobacco product.
- In many respects it is therefore treated the same way as smoking products, but there is divergence on labelling provisions.
- More important differences may arise in policy areas not fully encompassed by the TPD: notably, advertising and taxation.
- New taxes have been applied to HnB in a number of European countries.
