For products containing heated tobacco, a consumption tax is levied at 70% of the rate for cigarettes, with the unit of measurement changing from kilograms to items. The prices for 2023-2025 are as follows:
In the year 2023, there will be 9,870 javelins for every 1,000 cases.

In addition, there has been a revision to Article 43 of the law on "Taxation and Other Budgetary Obligations." According to the amendment, the inclusion of nicotine liquid (such as pods, bottled e-liquid, etc.) for use in electronic cigarettes has resulted in an increase in the tax rate.
In 2023, the cost will be 53 Jengos per milliliter of liquid.
In the year 2024, the cost of 55 Jengos per milliliter of liquid.
By the year 2025, the cost of 55 Jenga blocks per milliliter of liquid will be in effect.
Looking back to April 2021, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed a law that will make tobacco consumption taxes across all EAEU countries the same starting in 2024. To do so, there are plans to gradually increase the current rates.
Earlier reports have stated that starting from January 1st, 2023, the price of a pack of cigarettes will be 600 jankos.
