In Slovakia, Heated Tobacco Products (HTPs) are allowed for sale and use including sales through online channles. HTPs can be found in general retail stores. However, the law does not allow health benefit claims about these products and requires manufacturers to place health warning on their packaging. There are also restrictions on their flavours.
Available data show an increase of HTP users over recent year in Slovakia. The number of HTPs users in the country increased from an estimated 114,000 adult people in 2020 to an estimated 173,000 adult individuals in 2023. This represents that the prevalence of HTP use increased from 2.5% in 2020 to 3.8% in 2023. Also, daily use prevalence of HTP among adults increased from 2.1% in 2020 to 2.6% in 2023.

Wolumen sprzedaży detalicznej papierosów i produktów HTP na wybranych rynkach
Sprzedaż podgrzewanych produktów tytoniowych (HTP) znacznie wzrosła od 2016 roku w regionie Azji i Pacyfiku oraz Europie Zachodniej i Wschodniej. W wielu krajach zbiegło się to ze spadkiem sprzedaży papierosów. Dane dotyczące wolumenu sprzedaży detalicznej zarówno papierosów, jak i HTP mierzone są w sztukach, jednak jeden wkład HTP może nie być pełnym substytutem dla osób palących, ponieważ zawiera niższą dawkę nikotyny niż jeden papieros. Niemniej dane dotyczące wolumenu sprzedaży detalicznej wskazują na zróżnicowane efekty substytucji w następujących krajach:
- w przybliżeniu substytucja jeden do jednego wkładów HTP za papierosy: Węgry, Korea Południowa, Włochy, Niemcy.
- sprzedaż papierosów spada szybciej, niż rośnie sprzedaż HTP: Słowacja, Czechy, Rosja, Japonia, Grecja.
- sprzedaż papierosów spada wolniej, niż rośnie sprzedaż HTP: Kazachstan, Litwa, Portugalia.
