Heated Tobacco Products (HTPs) are regulated as tobacco products in Lithuania and are allowed for sale and use. HTPs are not allowed to be sold through online channels but are available in general retail stores. The law does not allow health benefit claims about these products and require manufacturers to place health warning on their packaging. There are also restrictions on their flavours.
In terms of prevalence and numbers of HTP users, data show that the number of HTPs users in Lithuania increased from 50,000 adult people in 2020 to 107,000 adult individuals in 2023. This represents that the prevalence of HTP use increased from 2.2% in 2020 to 4.9% in 2023. Likewise, daily use prevalence of HTP increased from 1.7% in 2020 to 3.9% in 2023. In a survey in 2023, 8.2 of the respondents stated that they had ever tried using HTP.
