New European Directive on Tobacco Products in Czech Republic
New EU directive requires flavored heated tobacco products to be removed from the Czech market; BAT launches nicotine substitute Veo™.

According to Czech media on October 23, a new European directive has been implemented, stating that as of October 23, tobacco products with distinct flavors or aromas must be removed from the Czech market.


In parallel, British American Tobacco (BAT) has recently launched another nicotine alternative called veo™. This product utilizes the same principles of usage as their previous offering, neopod, and is compatible with the glo device. It contains ingredients such as Louisianan Boswellia but is tobacco-free, offering five different flavors.


Regional leaders from BAT Czech, Slovakia, and Hungary state that nicotine alternatives will effectively reduce the number of smokers, and the launch of Veo™ is a further step in that direction.


According to reports, this new type of nicotine product has been introduced to the Czech market for the first time. It offers users a variety of flavor options and serves as a substitute for nicotine.


A series of regulations being implemented by the European Commission is currently facing resistance from tobacco companies in countries like Ireland, as they believe that the Commission is abusing its power.


In response, the European Court of Justice has agreed to review the reasonability of the ban on the sale of flavored heated tobacco products, while experts from various sectors continue to debate the increasingly stringent legislation on nicotine substitutes.
