CRPT: Russian HTPs Production Surged by 26% in 2023

CRPT reports stable traditional cigarette production in Russia, accounting for 87.7% of tobacco output while demand for oral tobacco products rises.

According to CRPT reports, the traditional cigarette production in Russia remained stable in 2023, accounting for 87.7% of the domestic tobacco production with an annual growth rate of 1%. Meanwhile, there is a growing demand for oral tobacco products. These conclusions are drawn from data collected by CRPT (the operator of the 'Honest Label') based on the government labeling system.

The production of heated tobacco products increased from 8.58 billion packs in 2022 to 10 billion packs in 2023, representing a 26% surge and capturing 10% of the Russian tobacco market. The highest growth in production occurred in oral tobacco products, with production more than doubling to 5.8 million packs.

The only category of tobacco products that saw a decline in production throughout the year was cigarettes and cigars. Cigarette production decreased by 38%, from 6.9 million packs in 2022 to 4.2 million packs; while cigar production decreased by 8%, to 1.3 million packs. In 2023, Russian domestic tobacco companies produced 96.6% of nicotine products in the local market, with production remaining steady and seeing a growth rate of 3% in 2023.

The implementation of the "Honesty Label" government system for tobacco products began in 2019, and starting from early 2022, the code marking will be applied to nicotine-containing products.

Tennessee Cracks Down on Vaping: 10 % Tax Hike, Expanded Enforcement Powers, Mandatory ID Checks at Every Retail Counter

New Tennessee laws passed this year impose a 10 % tax on vaping products, empower the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) to conduct compliance inspections, and set steep fines for retailers who sell to minors. Yet, with no statewide retail-licensing scheme for e-cigarettes, enforcing the penalties remains problematic. Meanwhile, stores in cities like Jackson have voluntarily stepped up ID scanning and product tracking to help the rules take hold.
