Fumar tabaco in Grecia

Volumen minorista de los mercados de cigarrillos y HTP en países seleccionados

Las ventas de productos de tabaco calentado (HTP) han experimentado un crecimiento significativo desde 2016 en Asia Pacífico y Europa Occidental y Oriental. En muchos países, esto ha coincidido con una disminución de las ventas de cigarrillos. Los datos sobre las ventas minoristas por volumen de cigarrillos y HTP se miden en unidades, pero una unidad de HTP puede no ser un sustituto perfecto para las personas que fuman, ya que contiene una dosis de nicotina menor que un cigarrillo. No obstante, las cifras de ventas minoristas por volumen sugieren diversos efectos de sustitución en los siguientes países:

• sustitución aproximadamente de uno a uno de unidades de HTP por cigarrillos: Hungría, Corea del Sur, Italia, Alemania.
• las ventas de cigarrillos disminuyen más rápido de lo que aumentan las ventas de HTP: Eslovaquia, República Checa, Rusia, Japón, Grecia.
• las ventas de cigarrillos disminuyen más lentamente de lo que aumentan las ventas de HTP: Kazajistán, Lituania, Portugal.

The European Union (EU) Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) 2016 Changes to the EU TPD

- No Fire, No Smoke: The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction

The TPD is a Directive of the EU which means that all EU countries must ‘transpose’ or incorporate the TPD requirements into their national laws. The only flexibility permitted is the ability to enact additional regulations. The current Directive entered into force on 19th May 2014 and became applicable in the EU Member States on 20th May 2016.

In 2014 a revised Tobacco Products Directive known as TPD 2 was issued by the EU to update the 2001 Tobacco Products Directive. TPD2 regulates all tobacco products in the European Union and its scope is wide. It covers product regulation in terms of reporting obligations of ingredients and emissions for all tobacco products. It includes product packaging and labelling including the size and appearance of products, traceability features to be fixed onto packaging as well as health warnings. It covers cross-border advertising of tobacco products; it reinforces the ban on oral tobacco products (snus), but importantly it provides for the placing on the market of e-cigarettes and refill containers, as well as making provision for notification of novel tobacco products. It also provides for herbal cigarettes.

Prevalence of Daily Smoking in EU

- No Fire, No Smoke: The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction

Sweden now has the lowest level of smoking among men than for any other country in Europe. According to the European Commission’s Eurobarometer 2017 report, only five percent of Swedish men now smoke. This is only one fifth of the EU average of 24 percent. The Eurobarometer report indicates that all other EU countries have a smoking prevalence three to seven times greater than Sweden. So, something is clearly different about Sweden – and the clear difference is that snus is allowed in Sweden yet banned in the other 27 EU countries.
