In the Netherlands, smoking is legal but should follow tobacco control regulations. Cigarettes are regulated as tobacco products that can be sold through retail outlets, including online sales, while purchases through vending machines are not permitted. The importation of cigarettes for trade is allowed with a trade license. However, health warnings on packaging are mandatory, the legal minimum age for purchase is 18 years, and smoking in public places face restrictions. Also, a complete ban on all forms of tobacco advertising is in place. Cigarettes in the Netherlands are taxed at a total rate of 76.95%, including an excise rate of 54.59%.

Smoking continues to pose a substantial public health burden in the Netherlands. In 2024, the number of current smokers among adults aged 15 years and older was approximately 3.0 million. This represents an overall adult smoking prevalence of 19.3%. In the same year, smoking prevalence was higher among males (22%) than among females (16.7%). This prevalence was 20.1% in 2022. In 2023, the adult daily tobacco smoking prevalence was reported to be 8.4%, with an estimated 2.2 million daily smokers. In 2021, smoking caused approximately 21,306 deaths in the Netherlands, including 13,186 deaths among males and 8,120 among females. This shows that overall, tobacco smoking accounted for 12.55% of all deaths in the country in 2021, including 15.49% of all male deaths and 9.59% of all female deaths.
