В Японии продажа электронных сигарет запрещена, и такие изделия регулируются как лекарственные средства, что означает невозможность их легальной продажи или распространения без фармацевтического одобрения. Онлайн-продажа электронных сигарет, содержащих никотин, также не разрешена, а их коммерческий импорт находится под запретом. По некоторым неофициальным данным, люди, использующие электронные сигареты, могут иметь возможность импортировать для личного пользования количество никотиновых электронных сигарет, не превышающее месячную норму, однако эта информация не имеет независимого подтверждения. Несмотря на действующие ограничения, согласно исследованию 2017 года, в Японии примерно 2,1 миллиона взрослых регулярно пользовались электронными сигаретами, а распространённость использования электронных сигарет среди взрослых по оценке составила 1,9%. В том же году 11,4% взрослых сообщили, что хотя бы раз пробовали электронные сигареты. Если у вас есть более актуальная или подтверждённая информация о регулировании или использовании электронных сигарет в Японии, команда GSTHR будет благодарна за ваши сообщения по электронной почте.

В нашем новом аналитическом документе объясняется важность снижения вреда от табака, а также приводится ряд страновых исследований, демонстрирующих способность более безопасных никотиновых продуктов снижать уровень курения.
Trends in Current Use of HNB Tobacco / E-Cigarette, Both Sexes, Japan
Takahiro Tabuchi , Silvano Gallus , Tomohiro Shinozaki , Tomoki Nakaya , Naoki Kunugita , Brian Colwell
Surveys of the adult population show the initial uptake of heat-not-burn (HNB) devices in Japan. In 2015, 1.3 percent of adults were using e-cigarettes (despite their illegality) but only 0.3 percent were currently using IQOS and 0.3 percent Ploom TECH HNB devices. One year later, in 2016, these levels had not changed greatly. By 2017, e-cigarette use had increased to 1.9 percent, while use of IQOS had increased to 3.6 percent, use of Ploom TECH increased to 1.2 percent, and use of the glo HNB product was 0.8 percent. The other sources of information about HNB come from market data. Philip Morris International’s (PMI) IQOS uses ‘HeatSticks’ which accounted for 0.4 percent of the tobacco product market in December 2015, rising to a 14.1 percent share of the tobacco market by December 2017.56 In two years, IQOS has overtaken specific cigarette brands – for example PMI’s own Marlboro which has about eight percent of the tobacco market.

Weekly Google Search Volume for HNB Tobacco / E-Cigarette 2013-2017 (Past 4 Years) in Japan
Takahiro Tabuchi
In 2014, Philip Morris International introduced the IQOS heat-not-burn (HNB) device to the Japanese market, initially as a test in the city of Nagoya. It was then rolled out across Japan in 2016. Japan Tobacco International had started Ploom sales online in December 2013 and launched Ploom TECH in March 2016. British American Tobacco started selling its HNB glo device in December 2016. There was extraordinary interest in IQOS, as reflected in internet searches in 2016. This Figure shows weekly Google searches from 2013 to 2017, normalised to 100 to show relative search volume.
